How do we use cookies?

As with most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for a number of purposes. The first-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.

The third-party cookies used on our websites are used mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our website.

Like many websites on the internet we use Google Analytics. The Google Analytics tool collects anonymous information about how visitors use our websites, for example how many visitors came to our website and when, what browsers visitors use and how long visitors stay on the site. This data does not contain any information that is personal to you. Read Google's overview of privacy & safeguarding data.

In addition when we send out marketing emails via Mailchimp, it employs cookies, unique identifiers, web beacons and similar 'tracking technologies'. Again some of these cookies are required for technical reasons, and some are used so that we can tailor content and information we send out, and track our subscribers uptake. However we only send marketing emails to registered subscribers who have 'opted-in' to receive them. All subscribers have the option to 'opt-out' by unsubscribing at any time. Read the Mailchimp Cookie Statement.

These other websites may send their own cookies to your browser once you visit their website pages. These cookies will be set from those domains not from our website and we do not control the use of cookies on other third party websites.
