What are cookies

A "cookie" is a piece of information that is stored on your device's storage (phone, tablet, laptop etc) which records certain information about your visit to the site so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system

If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be altered within your browser settings. You can block cookies at any time by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies you may not be able to access parts of our site

A cookie stores information, temporarily on your computer to allow a system to identify whether you are currently logged in, for example. These are "session" cookies, which only stay accessible for the duration of your web browser being open. Our system stores a unique but random number - which changes every time you visit us. Without this type of cookie, no login system on the internet could work. We do not store usernames, passwords, payment details or any other personal details in the cookie. We also store an indication to confirm you have seen the "cookie popup" (otherwise you would see it on every page!). Finally, we make use of the very popular Google Analytics system. This is a summary reporting tool. No personal details are stored by Google's code. It stores details such as whether you are a repeat visitor and how you got to our site - i.e. did you come from a search engine or did you come directly to our site by typing in our domain name. No traceable information as to who you are is stored. Browser security means that no other website has access to the data stored, either by us or Google. By making use of our website, you agree to accept the non-essential cookies which help in your browsing experience, unless you set your browser to reject them.
