What are cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies, which are tiny files downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This page describes what information we gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons, detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. We recommend accepting all cookies if you are unsure if you need them in case they are used to provide a service you use.

Disabling cookies

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually disable certain functionality and features of this site. Therefore it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.

The cookies we set

• Email newsletters-related cookies
  This site offers newsletter or email subscription services, and we use cookies to remember if you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications which might only be valid to subscribers or non-subscribers.
• Forms related cookies
  When you submit data through a form such as those found on contact pages or comment forms, we usually set cookies to remember your user details for future correspondence.
• Site preferences cookies
  To provide a great experience on this site, we provide the functionality to set your preferences for how it runs when you use it. To remember your preferences, we need to set cookies so that we can call this information whenever you interact with a page that is affected by your preferences.

Third-party cookies

In some exceptional cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties — the following section details which third party cookies you might encounter through this site.

• This site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track how much time you spend on the site and the pages you visit so we can continue producing engaging content. See the official Google Analytics page for more information on the cookie policy.
• From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to how the site is delivered. When we are still trying new features, we may use cookies to ensure that you receive a consistent experience while on the site while ensuring we understand which optimizations our users appreciate the most.
• The Google AdSense service we use to serve ads uses a DoubleClick cookie to serve more relevant ads across the web and limit the number of times you see a given ad. For more information on Google AdSense see the official Google AdSense privacy FAQ.
• We use adverts to offset the costs of running this site and provide funding for further development. The behavioral advertising cookies this site uses ensure that we provide you with the most relevant adverts by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar things that may be of interest.

Hopefully, that has clarified things for you. As was previously mentioned, if there is something you aren’t sure you need, it’s usually safer to leave cookies enabled if it does interact with one of the features you use on our site.
