A cookie is a small file, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded onto a device when the user accesses certain websites. Cookies may then be sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and track what the user does.
How do we use them?

If you do not wish us to collect statistics of your visit, please adjust the cookie settings in your browser. If you do not do this, we shall assume you are content with our use of cookies in this way.
