An Introduction to Cookies

A cookie is a small file which is placed on your browser or your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are commonly used to ensure that a website functions properly, to help analyse web traffic and to let you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through the banner that appears when you first visit our website.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website. Please see the section headed ‘How to disable cookies’ at the end of this policy for more information.

Cookies Used by Our Website

 

Social Network Sharing

We encourage users to share our content and/or like our profile on popular social media websites including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. In order to make ‘Social Sharing’ accessible, our website utilises widgets either provided directly from the social networks. Cookies and privacy settings from the social networks vary and will be dependent on your nominated privacy settings with each social network. Social Sharing buttons will only deploy cookies if you are signed to that respective social network at the time of being on our website.
 

Analytical Tracking

Our website has Google Analytics installed which allows us to track and compile anonymous visitor statistics. The information collected ranges from simple traffic volume to the type of browser you are viewing our website with. This information is valuable to us not just for marketing analysis and quantification, but to improve the usability, security and load speed of our website content. Google Analytics is a popular, secure, flagship webmaster product from Google. The privacy and security of Google Analytics data is a high priority at Google that you can read more about on Google’s Analytics Data Safeguarding page. Google also offers a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on that will allow you to automatically opt-out of all websites that track your activity via Google Analytics.  This is a non-essential cookie, and we will therefore only use such cookies where you have provided your express consent through the banner that appears when you first visit our website.
