COOKIE NOTICE
What are cookies?
When you visit web pages, cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer. We (and almost all other sites) use these to keep track of certain actions you take, for example, to remember you when you return to our site.
Don’t Want Cookies? You Have A Choice…
You always have the choice of whether you want to accept these useful cookies. Cookies are, by default, accepted by 99% of web browsers, but you can change this within your browser settings if you so wish. A word of warning, though if you do, you’re likely to experience a dramatically reduced user experience, and you won’t get full functionality for a lot of websites. For more information about cookies and for details on how to remove them, see www.aboutcookies.org.
Some browsers, such as Google Chrome, also offer a Do Not Track (DNT) feature, which tells sites not to send cookie information to your browser so that you cannot be remarketed to. To Manage your DNT settings please refer to your browser’s cookie and privacy settings.

Essential Cookies for the operation of the website
There are a number of cookies on our website which are essential to its operation. An example is a cookie for the cookie pop-up you see on your first arrival (silly, right). We have to cookie you know that you’ve seen the banner and so it isn’t shown again. This is just one example of an essential cookie, others are related to your personal preferences.
Google Analytics:
This cookie allows us to see data on things like the number of visits to our site as well as the browsing behaviour of those visitors. This sort of data allows us to see which sections of our site are most popular and which aren’t so popular! All info is depersonalised and can never be tracked back to individuals.
Google AdWords:
Using the code provided by Google AdWords we are able to better track the successes (or failures) of our advertising through the AdWords platforms. It lets us, for example, see which advert from which campaign you clicked on before you submitted one of our contact forms.
Facebook Pixel:
The Facebook Pixel cookie allows us to track social media campaigns and identify their success or failure. The information is depersonalised, and we don’t know who you are. In addition the Facebook Pixel allows us to create “Audiences” of people that have visited our website to show adverts to. This type of marketing is called “Remarketing”.
