Cookies
When a user visits our website, we use a number of first party session and permanent cookies and one third party session cookie. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous and unique session identifier connecting the user to his/her session. Cookies are sent from our website servers to the browser in the user's own computer, and are stored on the computer’s hard drive. These small pieces of information allow us to provide users with the site in its full functionality.
Cookies are either ‘permanent’ or ‘session’. Session cookies only stay in place for the duration of the user's session on the site. They do not track any information about a user or his/her behaviour and are not used to compile statistics. They do not collect or store any personally identifiable information. You can refuse the use of cookies, if you wish (please see below). However, if you refuse either all or even some of the cookies we use, your use of the site will be limited. For example, it may not display correctly and you may not be able to take full advantage of every facility.

This website also uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses a number of first party permanent cookies to help us analyse (in general) how the site is used. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to, and stored by, Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate use of the website and to provide us with generic reports and statistical information. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
