Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by most websites that you visit. They are widely used to improve your user experience by enabling that site to ‘remember’ you and make it work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site regarding how you use the site.

If a website doesn't use cookies, it may work a lot less efficiently, or not at all. For example, despite logging in a site may think you are a new visitor each time you move to a new page or area of the site.

We do not use cookies to:

  • Identify logged out, public visitors by name

  • To gather personal information about an individual (unless express permission is given, such as completing a job application form)
