Cookies Policy

We use cookies to collect browser data when you visit our website. A cookie is a small text file that is transferred from a website to your computer, phone or tablet. It allows information to be passed back and forth between your device and our website. For example, it may store details that you submit on the site — like your personal settings, location, or what you have in a shopping cart etc. — so you don’t need to enter information more than once.

We don’t use cookies to identify users personally. We only store information that you've specifically given us permission to store.

Our website uses a small number of cookies to give us a better overall picture of how people interact with the site, and how we can improve our services for our clients and supporters. The information we gather through this process is completely anonymous, and we cannot identify visitors to our site.

We use cookies to:

  • ensure content on the website is relevant to you
  • remember your choices so we don’t have to ask you every time you visit
  • improve your experience on our website by providing statistical data on overall usage, and anonymised trend data from website visitors
  • continually improve our services and website

Please see our privacy policy for further details on why we need to process this data.
