A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto ‘terminal equipment’ (e.g., a computer or smartphone) when you access a website. It allows the website to recognise that user’s device and store some information about the user’s preferences or past actions. Most browsers support Cookies, but you can set your preferences to decline them and delete them whenever you like. Cookies allow our site to remember your preferences and play an important role in making the site work better for you. To some extent, cookies can be seen as providing a “memory” for the website, enabling it to recognise a user and respond appropriately. 

We use Cookies to manage functionality on our website and to provide usage insights to help us improve our service for our users. Where a cookie is not strictly necessary, we give you the opportunity to opt-out of its usage. We do not use cookies to track your behaviour once you have left our website, and the data from cookies will not be passed on to or used by any commercial enterprise that are not operating under our instruction and only process data as laid out in this policy.
