What Are Cookies?
Our website uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can. A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer or mobile device, which enables our website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit or for repeat visits. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. Please note that cookies cannot harm your computer.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).

To make full use of our website, your computer, tablet or mobile phone will need to accept cookies, as we can only provide you with certain features of this website by using them. If cookies aren't enabled on your computer, it will mean that your experience on our website will be limited. However, if you'd prefer to restrict, block or delete cookies from our website, or any other website, you can use your browser to do this. Each browser is different, so check the 'Help' menu of your particular browser (or your mobile phone's handset manual) to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
