Cookies

We use cookies on our website for all sorts of useful things.  In case you’re not familiar with them, a cookie is a text file containing a small amount of information, which is downloaded to your computer or mobile device, by websites that you visit. Cookies can improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your use of a website so that it can be improved to better meet visitor needs.

 

In certain jurisdictions, including the European Union, websites must get the consent of the visitor to send cookies to the visitor’s computer or mobile, unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to the visitor.

Cookie preferences are set using your browse settings. Many browsers provide information regarding cookies through their 'Help' menu, and you can always find additional information online.

 

Unless the cookie is a strictly necessary cookie, you can withdraw your consent to allowing us to send cookies at any time even, if you have previously consented.  If you do withdraw your consent, please remember that parts of our website will not work. For example, you may not be able to watch our videos. For this reason we may occasionally send you prompts which allow you to consent to a cookie you have previously rejected.

 

You should also be aware that there are different types of cookies.  For example, there are "functionality" or "performance" cookies and also cookies are used continuously or in one instance.  These are generally known as either a “persistent" cookie or "session" cookie. The difference is that:​

 

• Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a "persistent cookie" is used on a website to remember your log-in details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website; while​

• Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
