f.i) What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer from a website's computer and is stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the Site to you. You have the opportunity to set your devices to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. If you do the latter it may mean that certain services cannot then be provided or that you cannot access certain elements of the Site that you would otherwise be able to.
Each browser is different and if you want to change your cookie preference you should look at the "help" function on your browser.
f.ii) How do we use cookies?
We use cookies to:
♣ Regulate access to certain areas of the Site and
♣ Monitor usage.
We do not provide details to other companies for their own business but we may provide information to third parties who are providing services to us or on our behalf.
