Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information which are sent to your computer (or any similar device you use to access the
internet e.g. smart phone, tablet or other mobile device) when you visit a website which store and sometimes track
information about your use of the website. A number of cookies on this site last only for the duration of your web
session and expire when you close your browser. Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to the
website and will last for longer.

We use cookies to:

  1. create a specific log-in session for a visitor to the site in order that page requests by that visitor are
    delivered in an effective, secure and consistent manner;
  2. recognise when a visitor to the site has visited before; this means we can identify the number of unique
    visitors we receive to the website and allows us to make sure we have enough capacity for the number of users
    that we get;
  3. customise elements of the layout and/or content of the pages of the website;
  4. collect statistical information about how our visitors use the website so that we can improve the website and
    learn which parts are most popular to visitors.

Some of the cookies used by this website are set by us, and some are set by third parties who are delivering services
on our behalf. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can change your browser to
prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. You can also learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org which includes
additional useful information on cookies and how to block cookies using different types of browser. Please note
however, that by blocking or deleting cookies used on our website you may not be able to take full advantage of the
website.

Third party cookies

Certain cookies are either set by third parties on the website or these are set by us using the third parties cookie
code. More information about cookies placed by third parties and how to restrict or block their cookies can be
