7. Cookies
To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
We may also use cookies to collect information about your computer, including your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and in order to create reports. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.
8. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This policy is shaped and governed by English law and reflects the requirements of relevant legislation including the UK Data Protection Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/670 (‘GDPR’).
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to improve the completeness and usefulness of this policy.
