In order to have a properly working website and enable us to provide our site visitors with the best possible experience, we place small data files called cookies on your device. This notice provides you with information about cookies and how to control them for this website.

What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files which are stored on a user’s computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

Cookies help us enhance your experience when using the website. They also help us understand how people use our site, for example which page is visited the most.
