Our Use of Cookies

When you set up an account through our site, we employ cookies to manage the overall sign-up process and for general administrative issues. The cookies are deleted at the time you log out, though in some cases, they retain your site preferences after you log out. This means that you don’t have to log into the site again when you visit each new page on the site.

Our site also provides some payment facilities, which rely on cookies to remember a customer’s order between page clicks, to ensure that the order can be properly processed.

In addition, we occasionally offer questionnaires and surveys to inform our understanding of how people use the site or to provide visitors with helpful tools. These surveys sometimes rely on cookies to remember which visitors have already completed the survey.

Cookies may also be set when you send data through certain web forms including contact pages, as these can remember user details in the event of further correspondence.

Finally, to ensure that the site offers the optimal visitor experience, we give users the ability to set their own site preferences. By using cookies, these preferences can be remembered each time that you visit the site, providing a more user friendly visitor experience.
