We collect and use cookies for a variety of reasons. You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them below:
| Name of cookie | Purpose for cookie |
| Google Analytics | This is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc which uses cookies to monitor the number of people visiting the website and to show us how visitors found and explored our site, and how we can enhance their experience. Google Analytics only collects anonymous aggregate data, i.e. we cannot tell who you are or link data back to a specific name, and everyone’s data is shown as a whole, not individually. We use this only for statistical purposes to tell us information like how many people are new to the site or have visited before and which pages are the most popular. It provides us with information about the behaviour of our visitors (for example how long they stayed on the site, the average number of pages viewed). |
| Google Tag Manager Cookies | This is a separate tool from Google Analytics and offers user-friendly solution to managing tags or snippets of JavaScript that send information to third-parties, our website or mobile app by consolidating marketing and analytics information via Google’s intuitive interface as well as other useful features. This allows us to efficiently optimize our website data following receipt of visitor or user browsing information. |
| PHP Cookies | This stores a simple message when a form is submitted that can be displayed on a different page. E.g. if an enquiry form is completed incorrectly, a message will be stored and presented to the user to indicate the errors in the submission. When an enquiry form is submitted successfully, a message is stored and shown to the user thanking them for their enquiry. No personal information is stored in this cookie. |

The cookies are placed by Facebook, and we use them to understand the effectiveness of social media campaigns that we operate.

We just get to see anonymised data about the numbers of people who have responded to our advertising or other social media activity.
