If the settings on the software you are using to view this website (your Internet browser) are adjusted to accept cookies, we take your continued use of our website to mean that you are OK with this.

Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site, you can learn how to do this by referring to your Internet browser for instructions; however, doing so will likely mean that our site will not work as you would expect.

More about our Cookies

Social Website Cookies

We have included sharing buttons on our site so you can easily “Like” or share our content on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Facebook sets cookies.

The privacy implications of this will vary from social network to social network and depend on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.

Visitor Statistics Cookies

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows, which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc.

This helps us continuously improve our website. These so-called “analytics” programs also tell us how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before, helping us put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

We use  Google Analytics.

Turning Cookies Off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. However, Doing so will likely limit our website’s functionality (and a large proportion of the world’s other websites) as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.

You may have concerns about cookies related to so-called “spyware.” Rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
