What Are Cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites the Website uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This Cookie Policy describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored however this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the Web site’s functionality.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to our Website. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.

For example, a number of Website’s pages use cookies to remember:

• your display preferences, such as contrast colour settings or font size
• if you have already replied to a survey pop-up that asks you if the content was helpful or not (so you won’t be asked again)
• if you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on the Website

What information is kept by the cookie?

A cookie will typically hold:

• The name of the website that it has come from
• How long the cookie will stay on your computer or phone
• A value – usually a randomly generated unique number

How long do cookies stay on your computer or phone?

Session cookies – these only last until you close your browser. They are not stored on your hard drive. They are usually used to track the pages that you visit so that information can be customized for you for that visit.

Persistent cookies – these are stored on your hard drive until you delete them or they reach their expiry date. These may, for example, be used to remember your preferences when you use the Website.
