ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and also to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies are files, which often include unique identifiers, that are sent by web servers to web browsers, and which may then be sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website, and to identify users returning to a website.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Our policy on the use of cookies takes into account the fact they do not save or store any personal information as such. Currently we use cookies to facilitate and enhance the user experience on our site. We aim to give you the opportunity to assess and control cookie use where possible.
