What are cookies and web beacons?

Cookies are small data files that a website transfers to your browser when you visit a website. Web beacons are transparent pixel images that are used in collecting information about website usage, e-mail response, and tracking.

For the sake of ease, this notice uses the term 'Cookies' to describe both traditional cookies and web beacons.

Most cookies are benign and are there to improve your experience e.g. by remembering whether you are logged in or not, or to help the website owner improve their site e.g. counting the number of people who visit their website and which pages they visit most.

We believe you should be given clear information on what cookies are being placed on your computer when you visit this site and what we use the information gathered for.

We do not make and do not allow third parties to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website using cookies or the information gathered from them.

If you create an account with us we will use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out however in some cases they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.
