Here we’ll explain what cookies we use on this site, what they are, what they do, and what (if anything) you need to do about them.
What Are Cookies?
Sadly no chocolate chips of any kind are involved! We just liked the picture, though it’s not a particularly original pun. The type of cookies we’re talking about are small text files that help organise and store browsing information. They are not programmes, and cannot damage your computer or any files you have on it. Nor can they transmit viruses. Find out more here. Our site is designed using a content management system called WordPress. WordPress sets some cookies on your machine to make our site work properly, especially the interactive parts like search and menus.
We also sometimes embed links or content from other websites like Google, Facebook and Paypal. These are clearly identified, but as a result, you may be presented with cookies from these sites. We cannot control these third-party activities. You should check with the websites concerned for more information. To refuse third-party site cookies you will need to check with the originating sites.
Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at http://www.aboutcookies.org. This site will also advise you about using your browser to automatically control which cookies you accept. Your settings can be applied to any site you visit, so you don’t have to deal with them on a site-by-site basis.
