COOKIES
Certain data may be collected by “cookies”, which are temporary internet files placed on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser. This enables us to collect information such as time spent on our website and the pages used.
We currently use “analytical” cookies (primarily Google Analytics) which collect data about how visitors use our website, to help us to monitor and understand (e.g. whether the number of visitors to our website is growing), what content is popular, how long people stay on our website and so on, so that we can make improvements to our website.
If, having read the cookies statement in the pop-up box on our website, you click “Don’t show me this again”, a cookie is downloaded. It does not collect any data from you – it simply tells our website, on your next visit, that you do not wish to see the pop-up box again.
