What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard
drive or mobile device by your web browser (if you allow)
that enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture
and remember certain information. These cookies can save your
settings on a website and are used to deliver a more efficient and enjoyable website
experience by storing information about how you use the website.
For example, storing information on the pages you visited which allows for suggesting
related content based on a previous visit.
There are two types of cookies: (i) First-party cookies which are set by the website you are
visiting and (ii) Third-party cookies which come
from other websites e.g. ads embedded on a page using Google services.
Are Cookies harmful?
Cookies cannot access any information on your computer other than the information you have
openly disclosed to the website which sent the cookies
to your computer. Cookies can’t be executed as code and as such cannot distribute

What types of cookies do
we use?
We only use first party cookies but also use some third party website tools which use
cookies in different ways. Third party tools on this website:
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure how users interact with
website content. These cookies do not collect
personal information about visitors and use an anonymous identifier to distinguish visitors.
Google Analytics helps website owners to measure
how users interact with website content. As a user navigates between web pages, Google
Analytics provides website owners JavaScript tags (libraries)
to record information about the page a user has seen, for example the URL of the page. The
Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP Cookies to
“remember” what a user has done on previous pages/ interactions with the website. The
information generated by the cookies about your use of the websites
(including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the
United States. See more on how Google Analytics uses cookies.
