Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. A common example is an embedded YouTube video. Our site includes the following which use cookies. Disabling these cookies will likely break the functions offered by these third parties.

Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies

We use Google Analytics which uses cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g., Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should for technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. Google Analytics also tell us, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g., from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

Specifically, Google Analytics uses cookies to define user sessions, as well as to provide several key features in the Google Analytics reports. Google Analytics sets or updates cookies only to collect data required for the reports. Additionally, Google Analytics uses only first-party cookies. This means that all cookies set by Google Analytics for your domain send data only to the servers for your domain. This effectively makes Google Analytics cookies the personal property of this website domain, and the data cannot be altered or retrieved by any service on another domain.

Marketing Cookies

If you have previously provided us with your email address these are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences. These cookies also record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website, the advertising displayed on it and communications sent more relevant to your interests.

Turning Cookies Off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. Doing so however will limit the functionality of both our website as well as a large proportion of the world's other websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites. Information on deleting cookies or controlling cookies is available at www.aboutCookies.org.

To reiterate though, by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our site.

If your concerns around cookies relate to so-called "spyware", rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
