WHAT'S A COOKIE?
A "cookie" is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive if you agree to this and which records how you move your way around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.
Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system.
I am required to obtain your consent for all non-essential cookies used on this website. You can block cookies (including essential cookies) at any time 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 essential cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of this website.
HOW DO I USE COOKIES?
I use cookies to track your use of this website. This enables me to understand how you use the website and track any patterns with regard to how you are using this website. This helps me to develop and improve this website as well as products or services in response to what you might need or want.
Cookies are either:
Session cookies: These are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or
Persistent cookies: A persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again.
Cookies can also be categorised as follows:
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when buying a product or service. Without these cookies, the services available to you on this website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Performance cookies: These cookies enable me to monitor and improve the performance of this website. For example, they allow me to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the website are most popular.
Functionality cookies: These cookies allow this website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For instance, I may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.
Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to this website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. I will use this information to make this website more relevant to your interests.
First and third party cookies: First party cookies are cookies set by this website. Third party cookies are potentially cookies on this website that are set by another website other than this website, such as where I have adverts on this website or use Facebook pixels so that I could show you relevant content from me when you are on Facebook.
I use only first party cookies on my website.
