What are Cookies?

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store them. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, however, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

For more general information on cookies, see the Wikipedia article on HTTP Cookies.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons as detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to a site.  It is therefore recommended that you leave on all cookies even if you are not sure whether you need them in case they are used to provide a service that you use.

Disabling Cookies

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually also result in disabling certain functionality and features of this site.  It is therefore recommended that you do not disable cookies.

The Cookies We Set

If you create an account with us, we will use cookies for the management of the sign-up process and general administration. These will usually be deleted when you log out, however, in some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.

We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.

When you submit data through a form such as those found on contact pages or comment forms, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.

Third Party Cookies

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third party cookies you might encounter through this site.

This site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.

For more information on Google Analytics cookies, see the official Google Analytics page.

From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to the way that the site is delivered. When we are still testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure that you receive a consistent experience whilst on the site, ensuring that we understand which optimisations our users appreciate the most.

More Information

Hopefully that has clarified things, however, if there is something that you are not sure whether you need, it is usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case it does interact with one of the features you use on our site. If you still need further information, you can contact us through one of our preferred contact methods.
