There are various technologies, including one called "cookies" which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a website. A cookie is a small text file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. The only personal information a cookie can obtain is information a user supplies him or herself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk and cookie files cannot be shared between sites.

In line with the UK ICC compliance with EU Cookie regulations we only utilise strictly necessary and performance cookies. The cookies we utilise contain no information which can personally identify a visitor nor is the information distributed, shared or sold. The cookies we utilise are solely for our own internal records to improve how the website operates. This is achieved by logging information on visitor behavior by issuing randomly generated session numbers and hits associated with these session numbers which enable us to recognise subsequent requests.

After a period of inactivity, your session will time-out and subsequent visits to the website will be identified with a new session number, visitor preferences are therefore not maintained across visits.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off on your web browser, although you need to have cookies enabled to successfully use interactive functionality within our site. To disable the use of Cookies in your browser please refer to the "help" facility within your browser for assistance.
