Analytical cookies

We use Google Analytics cookies to identify unique visitors, define user sessions, and track traffic sources and navigation. These cookies are a combination of session and persistent cookies. Google Analytics uses only first party cookies, meaning the cookies send collected information only to servers we use, and the data cannot be altered or retrieved by any service on another domain. We use the cookies to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand user behaviour across the website, and to help us improve our business. Information collected in this way does not personally identify you. These cookies help us to understand who has viewed which webpages on the website, and how often. They allow us to monitor overall usage of the website, and to determine the most popular areas of the website. You can find out more about Google Analytics cookies here>>
