COOKIES

We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

Whilst we endeavour to ensure that the information on this website is correct, we do not warrant its completeness or accuracy; nor do we commit to ensuring that the website remains available or that the material on the website is kept up-to-date.

We may send a cookie which may be stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes.

Cookies can be controlled through your browser settings, generally by clicking 'Tools' on a Windows machine, or 'Preferences' on a Mac. You can also use your browser in 'private' or 'incognito' mode, to look like a brand new user every time you browse the web. More information on cookie control can be found here.
