WHAT COOKIES DOES THIS WEBSITE USE?
This website uses a variety of cookies to help improve the quality of your experience:
Essential & Functional Cookies
Without these cookies certain functions of our website would not work, such as login, registration and password areas.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies monitor how visitors use our website. This helps us to improve the customer flow and provide additional resources for popular pages. This analytics information is anonymous, we can only see what you visited, not who you are.
Third Party Cookies
These are cookies dropped via our site, but by other websites, so if we host a video on YouTube.com and embed that on our site, when you click play YouTube drops a cookie on your machine so it knows you have watched it. Or if you hit the ‘Like’ button on one of our pages (please do!) the social media site will drop a cookie. We do try, wherever possible, to only allow third-party cookies to be dropped on your machine from websites we trust.
I DON’T LIKE COOKIES AND WANT TO TURN THEM OFF!
This can be done in your individual web browser, but like we have mentioned, certain functions of our websites will not work correctly. If you want to turn off third party advertising cookies then visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/ - be prepared to receive a lot of random advertising about websites and products that really do not interest you.
