Third party functions

Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. A common example is an embedded YouTube video.

Disabling these cookies may break the functions offered by these third parties.

 

Visitor statistics cookies

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These analytics programs also tell us how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

We cannot use analytics cookies to identify you, however we cannot know, nor be held responsible for how third party suppliers use their own cookies.

 

Turning cookies off

Denying cookies will likely limit the functionality of a large proportion of the world’s websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.

It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to spyware. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
