What are Cookies: Our Cookie Policy

This site uses cookies. A cookie is a very small text file of letters and numbers that is downloaded on to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are used by most business websites and can do a number of things, eg remembering your preferences, recording what you have put in your shopping basket, and counting the number of people looking at a website. Cookies help sites give a better user experience and this is why we use cookies – to remember who has visited us before, for example, so you do not keep seeing the same pop-ups each visit. We also use Google Analytics so we can understand who our visitors are and where they come from. This helps us tailor our services to best meet your needs.

The rules on cookies are covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. The Regulations also cover similar technologies for storing information, eg Flash cookies. The Regulations were revised in 2011, and in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office is responsible for enforcing these rules. (See the ICO site for more information on this).

In general, cookies will make your browsing experience better. You can disable cookies on this site and on others. The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser. We suggest consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look at the About Cookies website which offers guidance for all modern browsers.
