Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our site, you can learn how to do this below. However, doing so will likely mean that our site will not work as you would expect.
Anonymous visitor statistics cookies
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 'analytics' programmes also tell us, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about traffic to this website, including how many repeat visits are made, which websites refer traffic to us, and what type of web browser/computers our visitors use. We do not collect personally identifiable data from our visitors - all data is aggregated. However, if you wish to opt out of providing this data, please click here to install Google Analytics Opt Out extension.
Turning cookies off
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 our's and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites
It may be that you 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.
