Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are not just a tasty biscuit; they are also small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Your web browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you re-visit it, so it can recognise you and remember your user preferences or even personal details.
There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. The type all depends on how long they are used for. Session cookies only last for a single online session and disappear as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile device after the browser has been closed and last for longer periods of time.
Cookies make it easier for you to view our website by providing a smoother and faster experience. We also use them to collect data from you, such as your IP address.
Although most web browsers are set up to automatically accept cookies by default, you can decline the option for us to collect cookies from you, if you do not want them to be stored on your computer. We however cannot guarantee that you will have access to our entire website if you disable cookies.
It must also be noted that disabling cookies may not only affect your browsing experience on our website, but other websites too. Please view your browser provider’s website for more information on how to disable cookies in your browser.
