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

We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on this Website. The classification was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don't want to have them on your device.

They also enable us to keep the Website and information, up to date, relevant and error free and provide information about how the Website is used.
