Anonymous Visitor Statistics Cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at, etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called “analytics” programs also tell us if , on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to better understand our audience.
Third party cookies
Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. A common example is an embedded YouTube video and social share buttons. Some third party services embedded within this website set their own cookies. These are known as third party cookies because they are not set by our website.
