WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device for accessing the internet, whenever you visit a site. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.
We use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving the user experience.
Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser and persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed (for example to remember your user preferences when you return to the site).
HOW AND WHY THE WEBSITE USES COOKIES
The cookies we use are completely safe. In fact, many of them are used purely to provide important security features such as protecting your data. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better Website and service, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not.
We use cookies to safeguard your privacy when you’re browsing the Website. We also use them to give you the best experience when you visit this Website.

Cookies can also allow us to tailor the content of this Website so we can show you services or adverts we think you may be interested in.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website and services in order to tailor it to user needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Finally, we use 'analytics' cookies, including third party analytics cookies, to help us make the Website better for those who visit it regularly. They help us work out what users like and don't like and how we can improve things for you.
