Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. We use cookies only when needed, for example, when you fill out a feedback or contact form some technical information is kept to determine whether anything is missing before being submitted.

We believe you will have a better browsing experience of our website using cookies, especially as the site contains many contact forms and searching mechanisms. If you don’t wish to use (and disable) cookies, you’ll still be able to browse the site.

Please note that cookies can’t harm your computer. We don’t store personally identifiable information in cookies we create, but we do use Google analytics to gather which pages have been visited to help improve your experience of the site. Google analytics uses cookies to send basic page information as statistics. For example, they help us to identify and resolve errors, or to determine which areas of the website need more prominence.
