How we use cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a “device”) browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device’s hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.
The website asks permission to track users using Google Analytics cookies through a pop-up message on entry to the site. The website also asks user permission for the use of a Google Maps API and associated cookies on the contact page, with a button on the page. These are the only non-necessary cookies that the website uses.
This website does not store any information that would, on its own, allow us to identify individual users of this service without their permission. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes. Cookies are not shared with any third parties.
