COOKIES

Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the site. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer if you agree. These cookies help us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allow us to improve our site.

We use Google Analytics, which are analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our site and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our site works, for example by making sure users can easily find what they need.

You will be asked for your consent to the use of cookies by a pop-up banner when you first visit our site.

PERSONAL DATA

Any personal information collected via our site will be used in accordance with t applicable law relating to privacy and the protection of personal data.

We may use your personal data to send you information that we think you might find useful, for example our e-newsletter. All correspondence you receive from us will include an unsubscribe option, and you may ask for such correspondence to cease at any time.

No personal information collected via our site will be divulged to any third party without your consent.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
