A cookie is a small text file for which this website requests your consent for it to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. If your browser has this functionality switched on, which is the default for most browsers, the file is added. This cookie, amongst other things, helps to analyse web traffic and allows web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

Overall, cookies help us to provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not.

At all times you are in control of which information you provide us.
