Cookies Statement

Our Website uses cookies. By using our Website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are very easy to delete and block.
We use cookies for the following purposes:

• authentication – we use cookies to identify you when you visit our Website and as you navigate our Website;
• status – we use cookies to help us to determine if you are logged into our Website;
• personalisation – we use cookies to store information about your preferences and to personalise the Website;
• security – we use cookies as an element of the security measures used to protect user accounts, including preventing fraudulent use of login credentials, and to protect our Website  generally;
• analysis – we use cookies to help us to analyse the use and performance of our Website;
• cookie consent – we use cookies to store your preferences in relation to the use of cookies more generally.
• Our service providers use cookies and those cookies may be stored on your computer when you visit our Website.

Like most modern websites we use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our Website. We also use Social Media buttons to connect our visitors to their social accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn and others. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to our Website is used to create reports about the use of our Website. Google’s privacy policy is available at: www.google.com/policies/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie, disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google.

Most, if not all, browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies by adjusting your settings. For example:

1. in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector;
2. in Firefox you can block all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Options”, and un-checking “Accept cookies from sites” in the “Privacy” box.

You can also delete cookies already stored on your computer:

1. in Internet Explorer, you must manually delete cookie files (you can find instructions for doing so at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835);
2. in Firefox, you can delete cookies by, first ensuring that cookies are to be deleted when you “clear private data” (this setting can be changed by clicking “Tools”, “Options” and “Settings” in the “Private Data” box) and then clicking “Clear private data” in the “Tools” menu.

Doing this may have a negative impact on the usability of many websites. In the case of our Website, disabling cookies means its functionality will be impaired.
