EU Law requires us to inform you about the cookies that we use on this website,
to help you understand how your information is stored and used online.
Cookies are small files which a website can store on your computer, to remember your preferences, or to track you. Most websites use them in some form, and are often used to help you stay logged into a website, or to track your visits for analytics.
No. cookies are not dangerous, although some companies have previously used them to track user movements in ways that would not normally be deemed appropriate, and sold that information onto other people.
A website can only access it's own cookies, and your browser provides security for this. However, in some scenarios, a website can bring content across from another website (Such as adverts) and this can complicate how cookies can track people across websites. You may see this, when shopping for an item and then seeing adverts on other websites for those items days later. This is where the law is trying to protect you, helping ensure you are informed about the data that is collected.
No. We do not share any of your personal information with anyone else. This includes allowing others to store cookies about you on your computer.
We only store cookies on your computer, to help with your experience (To allow certain features) and for us to analyse your use of our website. We do not share these with anyone else.
