Information about our use of cookies
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. By continuing to browse our website, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.
Cookies can be categorised as follows:
Essential cookies
These are cookies that are required for the operation of a website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
Analytical/performance cookies
They allow sites to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around a website when they are using it. This helps to improve the way a website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. These cookies help measure and improve site performance using a service provided by Google Analytics and Omniture.
Functionality cookies
These are used to recognise you when you return to a website. This enables a website to personalise content for users, greet users by name and remember user preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Targeting cookies
These cookies record a visit to a website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. This information can be used to make a website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to a users interests. A website may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
The cookies we use are non-intrusive and are used by most web sites. None of your personal details are held in these cookies. The information box below describes the cookies that the site uses and why:
