1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about how you have interacted with the site.
Cookies are widely used. They help websites function correctly, allow owners to understand how their site is being used, and can personalise the experience for visitors. Not all cookies serve the same purpose — some are necessary for the site to work at all, while others are optional.
You can control which optional cookies are active on this website using the preference panel below. Declining optional cookies will not prevent you from using the website or submitting an enquiry.
