Cookie Policy

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

  • Any sections where advertising is incorporated may use third party cookies, though we will endeavor to use trusted sources for any such advertising
  • If you visit an online shop run by our website, it will use cookies stored on your computer to remember what you have put into your shopping cart, as well as other features/settings of the shop where required
  • The cookies we control have an expiry date (usually 30 days but sometimes longer)
  • Enabling cookies is not required in order to browse our website, but is required to use online shop facilities or to log in
  • The only time our cookies are used to personally identify you is when you log in, then cookies are saved so our website/services know who you are logged in as
