Cookies and how we use them

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive. It enables our website to identify your computer as you view different pages on our website. Cookies allow websites and applications to store your preferences in order to present content, options or functions that are specific, to you. They also enable us to see information, like how many people use the website, and what pages they tend to visit.

How we use cookies

We may use cookies to:

  • Analyse our web traffic using an analytics package. Aggregated usage data helps us improve the website structure, design, content and functions.

  • Test content on our website. For example, 50% of our users might see one piece of content, the other 50% a different piece of content.

  • Store information about your preferences. The website can then present you with information you will find more relevant and interesting.

  • To recognise when you return to our website. We may show your relevant content, or provide functionality you used previously.

Cookies do not provide us with access to your computer or any information about you, other than that which you choose to share with us.

Security

We will always hold your information securely. To prevent unauthorised disclosure or access to your information, we have implemented strong physical and electronic security safeguards. We also follow stringent procedures to ensure we work with all personal data in line with the General Data Protection Regulations.

Where your data is stored

It can be important to know where your data is stored. For example: there have been concerns expressed about data stored in the USA. The view being, data stored in the USA is too readily accessible to the American government. In Europe / UK, there are tighter controls on how data can be accessed by government bodies. For that reason, we store your data in the European Economic Area (“the EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. You are deemed to accept and agree to this by using Our Site and submitting information to Us. If We do store data outside the EEA, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the General Data Protection Regulations.

If you provide information to a website to which we link, we are not responsible for its protection and privacy. Always be wary when submitting data to websites.
