Cookie Policy

Cookies are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit some websites.

Many websites include a message indicating that “this website uses cookies” or similar. This is required to comply with UK and European regulations (Directive 2002/58 on Privacy and Electronic Communications) when functional or third party cookies are used (see below). This site does not use functional or third party cookies, therefore the message does not appear. Ironically, for the website to remember that you have accepted cookies itself requires a cookie (see “persistent cookies” below).
