What are cookies?
Cookies are small files of information, usually containing letters and numbers, that websites store on your browser, or the hard drive of your computer. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as they are essential for the operation of our website or to provide a service you have requested.

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts or other technologies. These technologies operate in a similar way to cookies and may store or access information on your device. Where these technologies are not strictly necessary, we will obtain your consent before using them.
What type of cookies do you use?
We use the following cookie types:
Essential Cookies – These can also be known as Strictly Necessary Cookies, and they’re very important for us to make sure our website runs as it should. As a result, these cookies are always automatically enabled, to make sure our website works sufficiently. Some examples of uses of essential cookies include the distribution of website traffic across multiple servers – without the website speed being affected, enabling the use of a shopping basket and facilitating the check out process.

These cookies help us to keep count of the number of visitors on our website, and also helps us to understand how these visitors use our website.

These cookies are only placed on your device where you have provided consent.
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed by third-party providers (such as analytics or advertising partners), even where the cookies themselves are first-party cookies. These providers may use this information to help us analyse website usage or deliver relevant content or adverts.
