versions. Ultimately this helps us to offer you a better website.
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many
people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g.
Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should
for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they
look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called

Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us,
advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally identifiable
information from these cookies. We only work with advertising partners (such as
Unanimis) who work to accepted privacy standards such as your online choices
You can learn more about online advertising and change your
settings at your online choices too. It is worth noting that opting out of
advertising cookies will not mean you won't see adverts, just simply that they
won't be tailored to you any longer.
You may notice that sometimes after visiting a site you see
increased numbers of adverts from the site you visited. This is because
advertisers, including ourselves pay for these adverts. The technology to do
this is made possible by cookies and as such we may place a so called
"remarketing cookie" during your visit. We use these adverts to offer
special offers etc to encourage you to come back to our site. Don't worry we
are unable to proactively reach out to you as the whole process is entirely
anonymised. You can opt out of these cookies at anytime as explained above.
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser
settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so however
will likely limit the functionality of this and a large proportion of the
world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern sites
It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called
"spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may
find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically
deleting cookies considered to be invasive. Learn more about managing cookies
