Personal information: Personal information is information that can identify you. This can be your name, email, contact information or other type of information that can be traced back to you.

We use cookies to help provide you with the best possible online experience. Cookies are small files which are stored on a user’s computer which allow the server to deliver a page tailored to that particular user, permitting that website to remember things like your username and/or preferences (if applicable). In general, most cookies work to enhance your experience of a website, making your visit to the website faster and easier.

There are many different types of cookies each performing a different function, for example, by letting you navigate between pages efficiently for the duration of your visit only (a so-called ‘session cookie’); or, storing your preferences for a repeat visit (a so-called ‘persistent cookie’). Session cookies are deleted from the user’s computer or mobile device when the user closes the browser. Persistent cookies are saved for a fixed period (usually a year or longer) and are not deleted with the closure of the browser.

Cookies may be dropped by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or by another website(s) which runs content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’). For example, the website might use a third party analytics company who will set their own cookie to perform this service.

How to change your cookie settings: If you wish to alter your cookie settings, it is possible to block or disable some or all cookies that have already been set. Please be aware that in doing so, you might lose some of the functionality of the website.
