Unfortunately not the yummy kind

Introduction

This policy explains what cookies are and how we use them. It also explains the different types of cookies we use and how you can manage or delete them.

A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser which tracks your movements within websites. Cookies work through a process of creating small amounts of text, about information such as your IP address, browser and selection preferences on the site. This data is then transferred between the server and web browser each time a user accesses our server. Our site uses cookies to keep track of how often you visit our website.

Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies but you are able to deactivate them at any time, although declining cookies may deactivate certain features of the website.

IP Addresses

We may collect information about your computer or mobile device, including where available your IP address, operating system, browser type, version and the website that you visited prior to this site, for system administration. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:

  • To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.

  • To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interests.

  • To speed up your searches.

  • To recognise you when you return to our site.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is Google’s free web analytics tool that helps website owners understand how their visitors engage with their website. It collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track visitor interactions such as sessions, analytics, and UserLocale.

These cookies are used to store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page. Google Analytics customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website so they can improve their website and how people find it. A different set of cookies is used for each website, and visitors are not tracked across multiple sites. Analytics customers are obliged to notify users of their use of analytics software. To disable this type of cookie, some browsers will indicate when a cookie is being sent and allow you to decline cookies on a case-by-case basis. In addition to declining cookies, you can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on in your browser, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your website visits.
