Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer’s hard drive by websites you visit to enable the website to ‘remember’ who you are. In general, cookies are only visible to the website that serves them, not to other websites. ‘Serves’ means places on your computer’s hard drive.
We use the cookies on this website to ‘remember’ information so that it can be passed from page to page and to collect website statistics. For example, when registering for our newsletters and email alerts, the information you put into the form on any page is stored on the webserver, and a cookie is used to point to that information. When you click ‘next’ to go to the next page of the form, our website reads the cookie which points back to the stored information so that it can be accessed by our website.
Cookies change and their names and descriptions are not very user-friendly for most people, so what follows is a list of typical cookies set by our site. If you want to see the cookies currently used on the website, they should be visible through your browser. (Please see below for instructions.)
