Our cookie policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file which is placed on your computer by the websites you visit. They typically consist of letters and numbers, and are widely used for a better browsing experience and to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies are therefore useful because they allow a website to recognise and distinguish between different users. But it’s important to note that cookies do not identify people, but rather they are defined themselves by a combination of a computer, a user account, and a browser.
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org
Cookies and the law
The use of cookies and similar technologies is commonplace and important for the provision of many online services. Their use is not prohibited by The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations (the “Cookie Law”) introduced in May 2011. However, the new regulations do require that users are told about cookies when they visit websites which use them, and are given a choice as to which of their online activities are monitored.
For more information about current cookie regulations, data privacy and protecting your data, please visit the website for theInformation Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk. This website includes a downloadable ICO cookies guidance PDF document.
