This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website. These cookies are categorised as ‘necessary’ and are stored on your browser as they are essential for the working of basic functionalities of the website.

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to ‘remember’ you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a ’session cookie’) or for multiple repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as ‘first party cookies’), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (‘third party cookies’).

Non-necessary cookies used on this website pertain to analytics and advertising metrics.  These are so that we can better understand how our users browse and navigate through the website.  This information is anonymised and aggregated, meaning no user is identifiable through the use of these cookies.  The data collected is used only for the purposes of helping us understand how to improve the website by learning what is working well and what is not.  If you wish to review all cookie categories and selectively opt-in / opt-out of any category, you may do so by clicking our button below.
