Site improvement cookies
We regularly test new designs or site features on our site. Occasionally, we may do this by showing slightly different versions of our website to different people and anonymously monitoring how our site visitors respond to these different versions. Ultimately this helps us to offer you a better website.
Anonymous visitor statistics cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at, etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These ‘analytics’ programs tell us if, on an anonymous basis, how people reached our site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you.
Third party cookies are set by:
• Google Analytics – they provide us with anonymous information on how visitors interact with our site
Advertising cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us, advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information from these cookies.
You can learn more about online advertising at www.youronlinechoices.com. You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies at www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices although we would prefer that you didn't as ultimately adverts help keep much of the internet free. It is also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not mean you won't see adverts, just simply that they won't be tailored to you any longer.
Remarketing cookies
You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is because advertisers, including ourselves pay for these adverts. The technology to do this is made possible by cookies and as such we may place so called ‘remarketing cookies’ during your visit. We use these adverts to offer special offers to encourage you to come back to our site. Don't worry we are unable to proactively reach out to you as the whole process is entirely anonymous. You can opt out of these cookies at any time as explained above.
Turning cookies off
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies. 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.
