Cookies

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

The cookies we use fall into classes: ‘necessary’, ‘ preferences’, ‘statistics’, and ‘marketing’ cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. They also help provide key functionality and third party features like embedded videos. They work together to help us to improve the way our website works, for example by making sure users are finding what they need easily and are seeing relevant content to them.

Necessary cookies are essential for websites to provide simple functions or to access particular features. Such features include the ability to sign in, add items to your cart in an online store etc. Necessary cookies do not require user consent at all.

Preference cookies are make it possible to remember certain features of a user i.e their language preference. These also remember other non-identifiable information like pages and products recently viewed.

We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

For each visitor to our website, our web server automatically recognises only the consumer’s domain name. This information can be used to locate some geographical information, for example, in your nearest town. In some cases, it may identify your ‘network name’ (if for example, you are accessing our website from an organisation with its own network). It does not give us any personal information relating to you as an individual (such as your name, address or email address). This information is used for internal review to improve the content of our web pages and its relevance to our customers.
