Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user's experience more efficient.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies we need your permission.

On your first visit to our website, a banner appeared to notify you that this website uses cookies and to obtain your consent for us to place certain additional cookies.

Your preferences will be stored for a period of three months; however you can change your mind about whether or not to accept the placing of such additional cookies at any time by selecting the options below.

The duration of individual cookies (i.e. how long they remain on your device) also varies. Some are “session cookies”, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser only until you leave the site. Others are “persistent cookies”, which remain in the cookie file of your browser after the sessions for a specific period of time depending on the lifetime of the specific cookie. The duration of individual cookies is set out in the table below.

Please note that if you consent to the placing of optional cookies, and subsequently withdraw that consent, the website will no longer attempt to access the cookies stored on your device. The cookies themselves can be deleted at any time by using the cookie deletion functionality of your browser. For more information on deleting cookies see https://allaboutcookies.org/how-to-manage-cookies.
