What is a cookie?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cookies which are small text files which are downloaded onto the hard drive of your computer, smart phone, or any other mobile device that you use to access a website. The cookies used on this website may store information about your device\u2019s operating system, browsing behaviour, connection type and IP address, but do not collect or store any personally identifiable information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What cookies are used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cookies perform many different roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Analytics: These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited. Read Google Privacy<\/a> to find out more. Specifically: _ga, _gat_gtag, gid, _ga_*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Analytics will only be active when consent is given in the cookies banner by clicking \u201cAccept\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cookie Management System (\u201cCMS\u201d): We use a WordPress CMS for this site. This system uses cookies for logged in users and commentators. These cookies are purely a convenience, set up so that the visitor won\u2019t need to re-type all their information again if they want to leave another comment. To find out more please read WordPress Cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also use a ‘cookie_notice_accepted’ to store user preferences on non-essential cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sometimes embed photos and video content from websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, etc. As a result, when you visit a page with embedded content from one of these sites, you may be presented with their own cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may choose to accept or decline cookies and you can reset those preferences by clicking the “Reset cookies” link in the footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are cookies used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We use these cookies to understand more about website traffic and usage. The information generated by the cookies on this website may also be used by us for website analytics purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do cookies expire?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cookies can remain on your computer for different periods of time. The cookies used on this website are \u2018permanent cookies,\u2019 meaning that they survive after your browser is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I block cookies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By default, only necessary and essential cookies are active on the site, with analytics ones active only when the user explicitly opts in by clicking \u2018Accept all\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
