7. How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. If you agree, the file is added and the cookie analyses web traffic or notifies you when you visit a particular website. Cookies allow 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.
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are in use. This allows us to analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website to tailor it to our customers' needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes, and the data is subsequently removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor the pages you do and do not find useful. Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the services offered on the Website.
