1. We reserve the right to collect technical data about the type of browser software or operating system you are using for the purposes of tracking website use, or improving the services offered through the Site. This information will be not used to identify you personally.

2. We may also place a ‘cookie’ on your browser to provide us with information about your use of the Site, and to help us identify you when you return to the Site so that your preferences can be stored. Using cookies helps us to improve our Site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. We may also use cookies to identify repeat visitors.

3. You can remove cookies from your computer at any time, and choose to disable cookies in your internet browser settings. Without cookies enabled, we cannot guarantee that the Site and your experience of it are as we intended it to be.

4. The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. We use two types of cookies on the Site, as follows:

  • Session cookies are temporary cookies which only exist during the time you use a Site (or more strictly, until you close the browser after using the Site). Session cookies help the Site remember what you chose on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information.

  • Persistent cookies stay on your device after you have visited the Site. For example, when you log onto a Site, a persistent cookie will be used to remember your preferences, so that the system remembers your choice the next time you log in. Persistent cookies help us to identify you as a unique visitor but do not contain any information that could be used to identify you to another person.

  • We also use web analytics services from other companies to track how visitors reach our site and the path they take through it. These companies use cookies to help us improve our service to you.
