COOKIES
Cookies are small data files that web sites commonly write to the site visitor’s computer/phone drive when a site is visited. These cookie files contain information that can identify a return visitor and usually help with efficient website navigation and perform website specific functions for example login or personalisation settings. Each time a user returns to a website, the browser e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox etc. retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server to check for relevant data and to differentiate one user from another. The data is encrypted for added security.
Our web site may use cookies as a way to measure activity and traffic patterns on the site in order to continually improve the visitor’s experience. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.
