Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good user experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. 

We will ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where these are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested. There is a notice on our home page which describes how we use cookies and requests your consent to place cookies on your device. 

We use the following cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They allow you to move around the website easily and use certain features.

Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Functionality cookies. These are used to remember visitors/clients when they return to our website in order to improve their user experience.

Social Media cookies. These cookies are set by the social media services that we have added to our site to enable you to share our content with your contacts and networks. They may track your browser across other sites and build up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you wish to disable these cookies (see below for how to do this) you may not be able to use or see these social media options. 

Targeting cookies. These cookies are also known as advertising cookies. They are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement on our website and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. 

The cookies on our website are either "First Party" cookies (cookies that we place on this Wix site), or "Third Party" cookies (cookies that are placed and used by third parties, over which we have no control). Each cookie can be classified in terms of duration, as follows:

"Session" (transient) cookies: These cookies are erased when site visitors close their browsers and are not used to collect information from their computers. They typically store information in the form of a session identification that does not personally identify the user.

"Persistent" (permanent or stored) cookies: These cookies are stored on a site visitor's hard drive until they expire (at a set expiration date) or until they are deleted. These cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user, such as web surfing behaviour or user preferences for a specific site.
