Our use of cookies
Our website uses software called "Google Analytics" to help us find out how visitors use the site, and which parts of the site they are most interested in. This information allows us to improve and further develop our website.
The Google Analytics package uses "cookies". A cookie is a file that stores information given by a website to a web browser (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari). This means that your browser will remember certain pieces of information about your visit to our site. The cookies used by the Google Analytics package can monitor which pages of our website you visited, whether you have followed a link from another site to get to our site, or the length of time you stay on the site.
The information we gather through the use of cookies is collected in an anonymous form and cannot be used to identify you. However, you can choose whether or not your browser accepts these cookies in the first place by changing your browser settings.
Links to other sites
Links to external websites are provided for information and convenience only. We cannot accept responsibility for the sites linked to, or the information found there. A link does not imply an endorsement of a site; similarly, not linking to a particular site does not imply lack of endorsement.
