Cookie policy
We may use “cookies” from time to time. Otherwise known as a type of tracking software, a cookie is a small, unique, text file that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies help our website tailor the information presented to you based on your preferences by collecting information such as which areas of the website you have visited and for how long, so the next time you visit the site, those pages may be accessible readily. Cookies also allow us to collect statistical information such as search engines used, how many visitors download files and which files these were. We will also be able to study how visitors navigate around the site and this will help us manage and improve the site where necessary.
A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites and cookies do not damage your system. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser so that it rejects them or notifies you when a website tries to send you a cookie. Rejecting cookies may affect the scope of your enjoyment of a website and may mean that some features do not operate as intended. We do not use single-pixel gif images, sometimes referred to as “web bugs” or “web beacons”.
