Cookie Policy

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile device or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request from a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it contains no software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
 We may also use "web beacons" (also known as "clear gifs" or "pixel tags") or similar technologies on our website to let us know if you have visited a web page or received a message. A web beacon is typically a transparent image (although it can also be a visible image) located on a web page and helps us measure the success of marketing campaigns and improve the performance of our website. They can also allow us to report your views of a web page to other organisations. In many cases, web beacons rely on cookies to function properly, so blocking cookies will affect their operation.
