Cookie Policy
Cookies that we use on this web site, or which may be used by third parties through our web site, can be classified into several categories. These categories were developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explain more about which cookies our web site uses, why they are used, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don't want to accept them on your device.
What is a cookie?
In case you didn't know, cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device. So for example, when you return to a web site and it knows who you are and says "Hello John" or when you add some items to your shopping cart and come back to the site a day later and they are still in your basket, that's done by using cookies.
How long are cookies stored for?
