What Are Cookies and What We Use Them For :
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 allows the Site to recognise you as a user either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits ( a ‘persistent cookie’). They are not harmful and do not contain any information such as your home address, date of birth or credit card details.
How We Use Cookies:
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling all cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features that are needed to run our sites. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are needed to provide a service that you use. On first entry all our sites offer the ability to accept all or decline all, but for the strictly necessary cookies that are required to run our website this permission will be set for 1 year.
Strictly Necessary Cookies:
These cookies are essential in helping you to move around our Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website, order processing, forms completion and remembering preferences. Without these cookies services you need, such as setting up an account, cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
Analytical/Performance Cookies:
In order to keep the Site, its services and products relevant, easy to use and up-to-date, we use web analytics services to help us understand how people use our Site. For example, we can see which parts of the Site and products are most popular, identify when errors occur, and test different versions of a page or feature to see which one works best. 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.

Functionality Cookies :
These cookies allow websites and applications to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features such as live chat. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised which means we can't identify you personally. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for selling advertising or remembering where you've been on the internet, but do help us to serve you with advertising and feature content that is more relevant to you.
Targeted Marketing Cookies:
We also use cookies to assist in targeted advertising. Without these cookies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests. We also use them to measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications, for example by telling us if you have responded to an advert that we have sent you.
