The information we obtain from our use of cookies will not usually contain information from which you can easily be identified, such as your name. However, we do collect some personal data relating to your computer or other electronic devices, such as your IP address, your browser and/or other internet log information.
In most cases, we will need your consent in order to use cookies on our site. The exception to this is where the cookie is essential in order for us to provide you with a service you have requested (such as making payments through our site).
When you open our site in your browser a cookie pop up message will be displayed and this will ask you for your consent for non-essential cookies to be placed on your device. If you do not click to accept cookies but you continue to use our site without disabling cookies, we will consider this to mean that you accept our use of these non-essential cookies. A record of your acceptance will be stored in a functional cookie for 30 days, after which the cookie will expire and the cookie pop up message will be displayed again.
