How we use cookies

A cookie is a text placed on your computer's storage device (hard drive, solid-state drive etc.). On accessing our website for the first time, you will be asked to approve cookies. Once you agree, your browser adds that text in a small file.

 

Cookies are used to:

  • respond to you as an individual (for example, remember that you have visited our site previously)

  • help analyse web traffic

 

Through the use of cookies, a web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. For example, when you visit an electronic store, a cookie makes it easier to shop by allowing you to place things into a shopping basket; the basket itself is not the cookie; the cookie is placed on your hard drive and keeps track of your basket versus others in use at the same time.

 

Overall, cookies help us provide a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us. Additionally, you may use your internet browser to notify you of cookie placement requests, decline cookies, and delete them from your computer.

 

Our website may use the following cookies:
