These rights cover the safeguarding of Personal Data, and protection against the unlawful processing of Personal Data. GDPR does not apply to information already in the public domain.

Cookies

Similar to other commercial websites, our website uses a technology called "cookies" and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. 

Cookies are small text files that are stored by web browsers on your computer or mobile phone. When you visit a website, that site's server asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. These files often include an anonymous unique identifier.

Cookies and web server logs allow websites to store things like user preferences, time and date of visits and pages views to analyse web traffic.

How I use Cookies:

We use “analytical” cookies which, in conjunction with our web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our website and which parts of the website are most popular. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and allows us to improve our website in order to tailor it to user’s needs.We only use this data for statistical purposes after which the data is removed.

On some of our web pages third parties may also set their own cookies (for example when you click social media sharing buttons or click on a link that takes you to an external website). We cannot access the data stored in any such cookies (nor can such third parties access my cookies).

By using our website, you are deemed to consent to our use of the analytical cookies described above.

You can refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting in your browser, which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. Please consult your browser provider support for instructions on how to do this.  Please note that if you set your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may affect the performance of the website.
