About cookies on our website
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we, or a third party, place(s) onto your device. It is used to tailor your experience either for the duration of your visit (using what is known as a “session” cookie) or for repeat visits (whereby we store what is known as a “persistent” cookie).

We also use "analytical" cookies which allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how they move around our website.

These cookies do not hold any private information which could personally identify you, such as your home address, date of birth or credit card details. If you would like to find out more about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
