ABOUT THIS COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use i.e, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used, and how to control the cookie preferences. For further information on how we use, store, and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.

You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website. When you first visit this website, a cookies consent bar asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Until you accept, no analytics cookies are stored and Google Analytics is not loaded at all. Whatever you decide, you can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page, which reopens the same consent bar. If you withdraw your consent, any Google Analytics cookies already stored on your device are deleted.

Learn more about who we are, how you can contact us, and how we process personal data in our Privacy Policy.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help us make the website function properly, make it more secure, provide better user experience, and understand how the website performs and to analyze what works and where it needs improvement.

A cookie may be either a “persistent” cookie or a “session” cookie. A persistent cookie is stored on your device until its set expiry date, unless you delete it before then. A session cookie expires at the end of your browsing session, when you close your browser. We use persistent cookies on this website. We do not set any session cookies.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

We use cookies for two purposes only: to remember the cookie choice you make on this website, and — if you accept them — to understand how the website performs and how visitors use it.

All of the cookies described in this policy are stored on our own domain, so they are first-party cookies. Two of them are set by Google Analytics on our behalf, which means the information they hold is collected by Google as a third party. Those two cookies are only ever set if you accept analytics cookies using our consent bar.

We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not allow any third-party advertising network to set cookies through this website. There are no embedded videos, social media widgets or other embedded features on this website that set cookies of their own.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

Essential: One cookie on this website is essential. It records the cookie choice you make so that we do not have to ask you again on every page, and so that we have a record of your decision. It does not track you and it is not used for any other purpose. Because it exists solely to store your preference, it is set whichever choice you make and it cannot be switched off.

Statistics: These cookies store information like the number of visitors to the website, the number of unique visitors, which pages of the website have been visited, the source of the visit, etc. These data help us understand and analyze how well the website performs and where it needs improvement. On this website these are Google Analytics cookies, and they are only set if you accept them.

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not use functional cookies for embedded content or social sharing. We do not use preference cookies to store settings such as language.

The below list details the cookies used in our website.

COOKIE DESCRIPTION

Cookies that need your consent

  • _ga: Set by Google Analytics. It tells one visitor apart from another so that we can count how many people use the site and see how they move around it. It expires 13 months (400 days) after your most recent visit. It is only set if you accept analytics cookies.
  • _ga_C5EJFMLBN5: Set by Google Analytics. It holds the state of your current visit for our Google Analytics property. It expires 13 months (400 days) after your most recent visit. It is only set if you accept analytics cookies.

Cookie set whichever choice you make

  • frm_cookie_consent: Set by this website to record the choice you make in our cookies consent bar, so that you are not asked again on every page. It stores only your answer and the date you gave it. It is strictly necessary — without it we would have no record of your decision — so it is set whichever choice you make. It expires 6 months (180 days) after you make your choice, after which we will ask you again.

These three cookies are the only cookies this website sets. If you reject analytics cookies, or simply close the consent bar without choosing, frm_cookie_consent is the only cookie that will ever be stored on your device by this website.

HOW CAN I CONTROL THE COOKIE PREFERENCES?

The simplest way is to use our own controls. When you first visit this website, the cookies consent bar lets you accept or reject analytics cookies. To change your answer later, select the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page. The consent bar will reopen and you can accept or reject analytics cookies again. Rejecting them also deletes any Google Analytics cookies already stored on your device.

Different browsers also provide different methods to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can change the settings of your browser to block/delete the cookies. To find out more about how to manage and delete cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

You can also opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites by installing the browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
