What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).  Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to remember users in order to store preferences, help users use the website more efficiently and to gather website analytics.  If a website doesn’t use cookies it thinks you are a new user each time you visit the website and users may be asked to log in and reset their preferences every time they visit.

How we use Cookies

Cookies ensure we are able continually to improve our website to make it as easy as possible for you to use our site. We utilise "first party cookies" (originating from us) to store "authentication" information, therefore allowing you to access areas of the website such as applying for vacancies. We also utilise "third party cookies" (not originating from us) to provide "analytic" information.

Essential and Non-Essential Cookies

In order to access "authenticated" areas of the website (e.g. applying for a vacancy) it is essential that cookies are enabled and allowed. Other (non-essential) cookies are also used to store individual preferences (e.g. font sizes).

It is for these reasons that a "cookie free" version of this website is not available.

Google Analytics

In order to provide essential information regarding visitors to our site, we use Google Analytics.  For information regarding the ability to opt-out of Google Analytics tracking, please visit the Google Analytics Opt-out for details of available browser plug-ins.

Cookie Free Website - Not Available

Unfortunately we are unable to provide a "cookie free" version of the website, as cookies are essential for accessing "authenticated" areas of the website (e.g. applying for a vacancy).  If you do not wish to receive any cookies from this website, then unfortunately the only option available to you is not to visit this website.
