What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Session cookies allow websites to recognise and link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. These cookies usually expire at the end of a browser session (normally when a user exits their browser).
Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device in-between sessions. They can allow the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or across different websites) to be remembered. These cookies may remain active for a period of time on a user’s machine and are used whenever the website is accessed.
Secure cookies are used when accessing a website via HTTPS and are encrypted for greater safety.
You can amend your cookies preferences at any time.
Please note that other third parties may also use cookies, over which we have no control. For example, if you entered this website from one of our affiliates' sites, which may include price comparison sites, that affiliate may use a cookie to track your visit to this site and to let them know if that visit resulted in the purchase of a product or service, including details of the product and service purchased. We suggest you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
What is the nature of the cookie-derived information we collect?
When you visit the website, our server will record your IP address, the date, time and duration of your visit and which areas of the website you visit. Your IP address is an assigned number allocated to your browser when you log on to the internet, which acts as the 'address' of your computer whilst you are online and enables web servers to locate and deliver content to you. It is usually allocated on a temporary basis, i.e., for the duration of your session online.
Can I decline to accept cookies?
You are not obliged to accept a cookie that we (or any other web server) send to you. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can modify the settings in your browser to turn off this feature. However, cookies are integral to some areas of the website and to certain of our online services, so if you do choose not to accept cookies from us, you may not be able to utilise some areas of the Website and we may not be able to provide certain online services to you.
How do I modify my browser to turn off ("disable") cookies?
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org
To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .
