What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies enhance the user experience; for example some cookies allow the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
This means we automatically collect and store the following information about your visit to the Site: the internet domain and IP address from where you access the Site.
Our Privacy Policy sets out full details of the other information we may collect about you and explains the purposes for which we shall use your personal information.
We use the following cookies:
