How we use cookies
Our website uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can. Cookies are small text files that are placed and stored on your browser or on the hard drive of your computer or mobile phone. Some cookies are essential and are required to make our website work, others are non-essential and will only be used if you agree.
The cookies we use on our website help us to:
- Make our website work as you'd expect
- Remember your settings during and between visits
- Improve the speed/security of the site
- Continuously improve our website for you
- Make our marketing more efficient
We do not use cookies to:
- Collect any personally identifiable information (without your express permission)
- Collect any sensitive information (without your express permission)
- Pass personally identifiable data to third parties
- Pay sales commissions
Different cookies are used for different purposes. The most commonly used cookies are as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make donations or purchases on our website. You can disable these in your browser settings but this may affect your experience on our website.
- Analytics cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. None of this information can be used to identify you, it is all aggregated and therefore anonymized. These are optional cookies which can be disabled when you first visit our website or can be managed in the settings above.
- Third-party cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, the links you have followed, your online activity and any settings you might prefer. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed to you more relevant to your interests and to improve your experience. These are optional cookies which can be disabled when you first visit our website or can be managed in the settings above.
You can learn more about the individual cookies we use and the purpose for which we use them in the table above.
Granting us permission to use cookies
When you visit our website for the first time, or the first time in a while, we will only use strictly necessary cookies and display a banner asking you to accept our cookie policy and agree to cookies being used during this and future visits to our site. If you select 'accept', we will use all essential and optional cookies as displayed in the table above. If you select 'decline', we will only use strictly necessary cookies and you can manage optional cookies and save your preferences here.
Updating your settings to turn all cookies off
You can update your cookie settings at any time and switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so, however, will likely limit the functionality of our, and a large proportion of the world's websites, as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites. It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so-called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
Our policy
While we take every care to ensure all cookies are listed in our cookie policy here. Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytics and advertisement cookies.
We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. We strive to protect your personal data and only use your personal data to process your chosen transaction. If you would like to learn more about how we protect your privacy, please read our Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about our cookie policy or privacy policy, please get in touch.
