By continuing to use our website you accept our use of cookies and can opt out at any time in the ways outlined below.

Cookies are small text files that are used to store or retrieve information to perform certain functions and remember visits to a website. The cookie will collect information relating to your use of our Services, information about your device, broad location and, if you arrived at our site via a link from third party site, the URL of the linking page. Cookies record information about your online preferences and help us to tailor our Services to your interests.

Analytical Performance and Measurement Cookies

We use these cookies to measure users’ behaviour to better develop our Services. By using analytics services we can analyse and measure which pages are viewed and how long for and which links are followed, and we can use this information to provide more content which is of interest.

Other Third Party Cookies

When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Facebook, these third party service providers may set their own cookies on your device. We use a Twitter Feed plugin to display social media content on our website. As a result, our website makes requests to Twitter’s servers in order to display images and videos. These requests make your IP address visible to Twitter, who may use it in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://twitter.com/en/privacy#update

The Tweets displayed in the Twitter feed include the ability to Reply, Share, or Like the Tweet directly on our website. If you choose to interact with these functions then you will make a connection to Twitter.com, who may collect your IP address, your web browser User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the widget, including correlating your Twitter account with whatever action you take within the widget (such as “liking” a Tweet), if you are logged in to Twitter. For more information about how this data may be used, please see Twitter’s data privacy policy: https://twitter.com/en/privacy#update

The procedure varies depending on browser or device so please visit your browser or device’s settings or help section for more details.
