Our website uses cookies

According to European Union regulations published in the EC Directives about Privacy and Electronic Communications (2001) and Privacy and Electronic Communications the use of many cookies will require the express consent of the user. To comply with these laws, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy when you first visit our website.

About cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website.

Which cookies do we use?

Our cookies

We use both session and persistent cookies on our website, as required by the software used at any moment to run our website and provide our services. The names of the cookies we use, and the purposes for which they are used, are set out below:

we use several WordPress cookies (e.g. “wp-settings-1”, “wp-settings-time-1”, etc.) on our website to recognise a computer when a user visits the website, to track users as they navigate the website, to improve the website’s usability, and to prevent fraud and improve the security of the website.

Google Analytics cookies

We do not currently use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website, but we may use it at some point in the future. Any policy change regarding the use of Google Analytics cookies will be announced in advance.

Third party cookies

Our website currently does not uses third party cookies, and we have no provision to use third party cookies in the future. Any policy change regarding the use of third party cookies will be announced in advance.

How to manage our cookies?

Blocking cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies; for example:

in Internet Explorer (version 10 and newer) you can block cookies using the cookie handling override settings available by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy” and then “Advanced”;
in Firefox (version 24 and newer) you can block all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Options”, “Privacy”, selecting “Use custom settings for history” from the drop-down menu, and unticking “Accept cookies from sites”; and
in Chrome (version 29 and newer), you can block all cookies by accessing the “Customise and control” menu, and clicking “Settings”, “Show advanced settings” and “Content settings”, and then selecting “Block sites from setting any data” under the “Cookies” heading.

Blocking all cookies will have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites. If you block cookies, you will not be able to use all the features on our website and may not be able to logging in and open a session.

Deleting cookies

You can delete cookies already stored on your computer; for example:

in Internet Explorer (version 10 and newer), you must manually delete cookie files (you can find instructions for doing so at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835);
in Firefox (version 24 and newer), you can delete cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Options” and “Privacy”, then selecting “Use custom settings for history”, clicking “Show Cookies”, and then clicking “Remove All Cookies”; and
in Chrome (version 29 and newer), you can delete all cookies by accessing the “Customise and control” menu, and clicking “Settings”, “Show advanced settings” and “Clear browsing data”, and then selecting “Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data” before clicking “Clear browsing data”.

Deleting cookies will have a negative impact on the usability of many websites. To avoid problems:

you should refrain from deleting cookies created by websites you are currently browsing, and
you should never delete cookies issued by a website you are logged to because in many cases this will end your session and may result in some data loss.
