IP addresses

When you visit our website our server will record your IP address and the date, time and duration of your visit. An IP address is an assigned number, similar to a telephone number, which allows your computer to communicate over the Internet. We use this information to compile statistical data on the use of our website to track how users navigate through our site in order to enable us to evaluate and improve our site.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve website performance and enhance your user experience. To make full use of the website, your computer, tablet or mobile phone needs to accept Cookies, as we can only provide you with certain personalised features of our Website by using Cookies.

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. Cookies record small amounts of information that help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.

Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location.

Cookies do not store sensitive information (for example: your name, address or payment details); they simply hold the ‘key’ which, once you have logged in to a Website, is associated with this information.

However, if you prefer to restrict, block or delete Cookies from the Website or any other website, you can set your browser to do this. Each browser is different, so check the ‘Help’ menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone’s manual) to learn how to change your cookie preferences. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject only third party cookies. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org, which also provides information about how to manage them.

The type of cookies we use

Our cookies perform one or more of these three different functions:

1. Performance Cookies

We utilise cookies to collect information about how visitors use the site, for instance which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and why some pages give error messages. Responding to this information allows us to provide the most relevant content and improve the visitor experience. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.

2. Functionality Cookies

We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences in order to provide a more personalised experience. For example, cookies can remember any forms you completed so that you don’t need to re-enter your details every time you access the site.
We also use functionality cookies to provide you with enhanced services such as allowing you to watch a video online or comment on a blog.

3. Third Party Cookies

Our website also allows third parties to download cookies to your device. For example, cookies from sharethis.com are used to allow you to send a page from our website to your social media account such as Facebook or Twitter. Cookies from Google and YouTube are also used. The YouTube cookie is set on pages that contain YouTube videos. These third party cookies are not under our control.

When you visit the Website, you may encounter some Cookies that are not related to us.

For example: If you go on to a web page that contains embedded content, for example from YouTube, you may be sent Cookies from these websites. As we do not control these Cookies, we recommend you check the third-party websites for more information about their Cookies and how to manage them.

If you ‘share’ the Website content with friends through social networks – such as Facebook and Twitter – you may be sent Cookies from these websites. We do not control the setting of these Cookies, so you will need to check their websites for more information about their Cookies and how to manage them.
