What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files places that websites place on your computer or device when you visit them. Some are essential to the working and security of the site, and others are important but not essential. You can choose whether or not to accept these non-essential cookies.

 

What cookies do we use?

We limit the use of cookies to those we believe are necessary for us to run a good website, offering visitors the sort of content they want, and making their visit as smooth and convenient as possible. We place the cookies on our site ourselves - there are no “third party” cookies set by other organisations or advertisers on our site. 

 

Why do we use them?

Statistics:We use analytics cookies through the Google Analytics service, to give us information such as how you found our site, whether you are a new or returning visitor, which pages you visited, what sort of device and browser you used, and the geographic location you visited from. This information does not identify you personally, but it gives us an idea of how effective our site is in meeting our visitors’ needs, and providing the kind of content they want.

 

Services : We use other cookies to provide services that make it easier for you to use the site, for example, by enabling you to translate our pages into other languages, to remember any preferences you have set, or; to keep books you have chosen in your shopping basket while you continue to browse.

 

What if I don’t want cookies?

When you first visit our site, you can choose whether or not you consent to us using cookies. If you don’t agree, you can still use our website, but we won’t get any statistics from your visit, and functions that depend on cookies won’t be available to you.
