Cookies

We use cookies (small bits of data (alphanumeric text files) stored on your device - pc, laptop, smartphone, tablet) to enable our website to operate effectively - they are an important feature that help you navigate through our website and enhance your overall website experience. Each cookie expires after a certain period of time depending on what it is used it for. If you do not want us to use cookies then you can turn off cookies in your web browser, however, please note that if you turn off, clear or disable cookies in your browser this might impede your ability to navigate the website effectively.

There are generically two main types of website cookie. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are not stored on your device. They are used to determine if a visitor to our website is interacting with the site for the first time or returning as part of the same browsing session. Session cookies are erased when you close your internet browser, or after extended browser inactivity. Persistent cookies are placed on your device for a pre-determined length of time when you visit our website. They are used to determine (via. Google Analytics) which areas of our website are the most popular, and how users engage with them.

Google Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to measure how users interact with our website content. As a user navigates between web pages, Google Analytics uses JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has seen, for example the URL of the page. The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP Cookies to ‘remember’ what a user has done on previous pages and their interactions with the website. Google Analytics supports three JavaScript libraries (tags) for measuring website usage: gtag.js, analytics.js, and ga.js. You can find more detailed information about how Google Analytics deploys tags and cookies on our website here.
