Cookies

Cookies are small data files saved to your computer (or any other device capable of browsing the internet) as part of your interactions with a website.

Cookies remain stored on your device until such a time that the cookie expires or is manually deleted. This allows for the information stored within the cookie to be sent back as part of any subsequent interactions you have with the issuing website. This exchange of information enables websites to remember basic information about you, such as whether you have visited the site before, whether you are “logged in” or to remember your recent searches.

When you visit our website, we will place a secure cookie in your browser history, which will allow us to record your interactions with our website and the device, browser and IP address that you are using. 

If you do decide to make an enquiry, we will link the data information recorded from the website cookie to your personal information used in your enquiry. You can delete the cookie from your browser at any time.

We also use HTML web storage to store information locally, such as search results and development locations, to improve our website performance. This can also be deleted by you from your browser at any time.

HTML web storage provides two forms of storage:

Local Storage – stores data with no expiration date

Session Storage – stores data for a single session (data removed when the browser tab is closed)

If you do not want us to use cookies when you visit our website, you can adjust your internet browser settings not to accept cookies. Your web browser’s help function should tell you how to do this. Alternatively, you can find information about how to do this for all the commonly used internet browsers here: www.aboutcookies.org 

This website will also explain how you can delete cookies that are already stored on your device.

Please be aware that if you set your computer to not accept cookies, there may be certain features/areas on our website that you may not be able to use.
