How we use cookies on our website

We use cookies for a number of reasons:

1. For statistical analysis we collect information about how visitors use our site. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form that does not identify a visitor, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by making sure visitors are finding what they need easily.
2. We embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo. This may set cookies on your computer once you click on the video player, but it will not store personally-identifiable cookie information and it is for playbacks of embedded videos only.
3. We embed feeds from Facebook or Twitter. The feed does not use cookies to create a profile of your browsing behaviour on third-party sites or to show you ads, although it may use anonymous or aggregate data to improve ads generally. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser.
4. We use social sharing plugins such as Addthis to allow our visitors easily sharing information with other people from different social networks. These plugins don’t install any tracking software on your computer. It uses aggregate data for providing analytics to help us have a better understanding of visitors.
