What’s the deal with cookies?

A cookie is a small file that our website places on your computer’s hard drive. Our website uses the cookie to identify your computer – and therefore you – as you wander from page to page on our website.

Websites and applications use cookies to store your preferences. That’s how they present content, options, or functions that are specific to you. We can also use that information to learn more about our website, for example, how many people use it and what pages they visit.

How do we use cookies?

We may use cookies to:

• Analyse our web traffic using an analytics package. Aggregated usage data helps us improve our website structure, design, content, and functions
• If we introduce sign-in functionality, identify when you are signed into our site
• Test content on our website; half our visitors, for example, might see one thing while the other half see something else
• Store information about your preferences; our website can then give you information that you might find more relevant or interesting
• To know when you return to our website so that we can show you relevant content or provide functionality you used previously

Cookies do not give us access to your computer, nor to information about you, other than that which you choose to share with us.

How can you control our cookies?

If you don’t want our website to store cookies on your computer or device, set your web browser to refuse cookies. Note that refusing cookies may impair your use of our website. Some pages or services may no longer be available.

How can you control your data and information?

When you fill in a form or provide other details on our website, you will see one or more tick boxes allowing you to opt in to receive newsletters or other marketing communications from us by email, telephone, text message, or post.

If you change your mind after having agreed that we can use your information for marketing purposes, you can let us know by:

• Writing or emailing us via the addresses on our contact page 
• If we introduce sign-in functionality, by signing in to our website and changing your opt-in settings

We do not ask for opt-ins for communications from third parties because we never pass details or information about you to other parties, other than those that are required by law.

Any personal information we hold about you is stored and processed under our data protection policy, in line with the Data Protection Act 1998.
