Cookie Policy

Our website is designed in WordPress and as such for maximum functionality there is a requirement for us to enable cookies for some of the plugins we use (predominantly calendar features and Twitter feeds).

We may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a text file (known as a “cookie”) which is stored on your device. Cookies contain information about your use of our services. They help us to improve our Site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us to:

  • estimate our audience size and usage pattern;
  • store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our Site according to your individual interests;
  • speed up your searches;
  • recognise you when you return to our Site.

Our cookies fall into three broad categories:

Essential cookies – These cookies are necessary for the technical operation of our Site. For example, they are used to identify users who have logged into and out of our Site. When you close your browser, these cookies are deleted.
Information cookies – These cookies are used for the purposes of recording information about how you use our Site, in accordance with this Policy. This information is used to analyse the URLs from which you arrive at our Site, to determine which pages and features within the Site are popular, and to deliver an improved service to you.
Third party cookies – Third party advertisers may also set cookies through advertising displayed on our Site, in order to allow them to, among other things, deliver advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Policy does not cover the use of cookies, or other processing of your Personal Data, by third party advertisers. We recommend that users review the privacy policies made available by the relevant third party advertisers. In particular, some of the advertising on our Site may be served by Google. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve advertising to users based on their use of our Site and other websites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google advertising privacy policy at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.
All cookies we serve through our Site will expire once they are no longer required, and in any event after a maximum of 2 years.
