What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on to your computer by websites that you visit. We believe that the use of these tools enables us to provide users with a more meaningful web experience.

This information should make your website visits more productive by storing information on your habits and remembering your preferences and any login details, as well as enabling a website to remember you, either by the length of your visit and how you navigate the site (a session cookie, which only exists throughout your visit to the site) or for returning visits (a persistent cookie, which can be stored for up to 2 years).

Our website also uses cookies to target content and marketing messages based on your location or browsing habits. If you have provided us with personal data – completing a contact form for example – we may associate this personal data with other information. This will allow us to identify and record what is most relevant to you.
