1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.
A cookie allows a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or the pages you have viewed. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags and local storage, perform comparable functions. In this policy we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies”.

4. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most web browsers allow you to view the cookies stored on your device, to delete individual cookies, to block cookies from particular websites and to block cookies altogether. The options available to you are usually found within your browser’s settings or preferences menu.
Please note that if you choose to disable or block cookies, some parts of this website may not function correctly. In particular, disabling essential cookies may affect features such as submitting an enquiry, and disabling functional cookies may mean the site is unable to remember your preferences.
