Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We use cookies on the website to help you remember who you are when you return to us. On login to the website, there is a box which allows us to place a cookie on your machine so your username and password can be saved, so that you won’t have to type them on your next visit. The cookie can be deleted either by using your web browser or simply by unchecking the box when logging in.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one. For more details on the types of cookies we use and how we use them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
