The Cookies We Use

These cookies will usually be deleted when you log off although in some cases they will remain to remember your site preferences when not authenticated.

- Authentication-related cookies We use cookies when you are authenticated so that the website remembers this fact. This prevents you from having to authenticate yourself every time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or emptied when you log out to make sure you can only access features and restricted areas when authenticated.

- Form-related cookies When you submit data through a form such as those found in the comments and contact areas, cookies may be created to remember your user details for future correspondence.

- This website uses Google Analytics, which is one of the most common and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us understand how our users use the website, and ways to improve their experience. These cookies may track things such as how much time you spend on the site and which pages you visit so that we can continue to produce relevant content.

- As we provide services, it is important that we understand statistics about how many of our website visitors actually register and use our services, and this is the type of data these cookies will track.
