This technology does not personally identify you – it simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our website. Our website contains hyperlinks to other pages on our website. We may use technology to track how often these links are used and which pages on our website our visitors choose to view. Again this technology does not identify you personally – it simply enables us to compile statistics about the use of these hyperlinks.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
In order to collect the anonymous data described in the preceding paragraph, we may use cookie technology on our website. A cookie is a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive, mobile phone, or other devices. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not. However, some of the services and features offered through our website may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided. They are deleted when you close the browser.
Performance cookies (e.g. Google Analytics): These cookies collect information in an anonymous form about how visitors use our website. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it.
We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our website, and to improve the service we offer to you. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer on a network, or in this case, the internet. Your IP address might also be used to gather broad demographic information. We may perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are coming from (i.e. google.com, yourcompany.com) to gauge our users’ demographics more accurately. Information from these types of cookies and technologies or about website usage is not combined with information about you from any other source. None of the cookies or technologies that we use will personally identify you.

When you arrive on our website, a banner will appear asking for your consent to place performance cookies on your device. This website is tested regularly to ensure the cookie banner performs how it should, however, there may be various factors that could potentially temporarily affect this, including but not limited to conflicts from the CMS, plugins, themes, server-side, cache issues, updates and external factors such as the device(s) you’re using. If you, another user of your device or anyone else you know experiences issues with this, we ask you to contact us immediately so that we can rectify it.
Where ‘Accept’, ‘Agree’, ‘I’m fine with this’, ‘Okay’ or ‘OK’ (or other relevant terms) aren’t presented, by clicking on the banner, anywhere else on the screen or by continuing to use our website, we assume that you consent to cookies being placed on your device.

Those circumstances include: the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In some circumstances, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful, but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.
