Cookie Policy

This website uses cookies, as do almost all websites, to help provide an optimal online experience. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile phone when you browse a website. There is no way to prevent these cookies being set other than to not use our site.

If your browser is set to accept cookies, as almost all are by default, we take this, and your use of our website, to mean that you accept our use of cookies (this is known as “implied consent”). Should you wish to remove or not use the cookies set by this website it will cease to function correctly.

The only cookies we set ourselves are created by our use of PHP Session variables to maintain state across the site pages. PHP Sessions create a unique ID for each visitor’s browser which is stored in a cookie. The variables themselves are held on the server and linked to this ID. The cookie is merely a reference (it contains no personal information and cannot be used to identify you) and is deleted when you close your browser.

Like many websites we may include functionality, secure purchasing or analytical services provided by third party software which set their own cookies. The third parties to which we currently link are Google Analytics and various WordPress plugins.
