What cookies do we use?
These are cookies that are required for the safety, security and integrity of our website. They help support the structure of the pages that are displayed to you, help to improve navigation and allow you to return to pages you have previously visited. This is a temporary cookie file which is erased when you close your web browser. When you restart your browser and revisit our site, the website will not recognise you.
