This site and our services may contain links to other websites. If you choose to visit another site by “clicking on” any type of third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization, or representation that we are affiliated with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data, or solicit personal information from you.

Like most sites, we use cookies and/or similar technologies to analyse customer behaviour, administer the website, track users’ movements, and to collect information about users. This is done in order to personalise and enhance your experience with us.

A cookie is a tiny text file stored on your computer. Cookies store information that is used to help make sites work. Only we can access the cookies created by our website. You can control your cookies at the browser level. Choosing to disable cookies may hinder your use of certain functions.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Necessary cookies – these cookies are required for you to be able to use some important features on our website, such as logging in or submitting comments. These cookies don’t collect any personal information.
Functionality cookies – these cookies provide functionality that makes using our service more convenient and makes providing more personalised features possible. For example, they might remember your name and e-mail in comment forms so you don’t have to re-enter this information next time when commenting.
Analytics cookies – these cookies are used to track the use and performance of our website and services (more below).
Security cookies – these cookies help us block out spam, protect from malware and bots, and keep our site (and your data) safe and secure.

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic on our website. Google has their own Privacy Policy which you can review here. If you’d like to opt out of tracking by Google Analytics, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page.

Please note, we do not use cookies to individually identify anyone. We simply use them to improve our website, our services, and to advertise our services to people who appear to be interested. The only data we collect is aggregate information about how people use our website. We do not link this data to individuals. If a third party advertising agency that we work with collects any individual level data such as IP addresses for remarketing purposes, it’s never shared with us. It’s actually Google’s policy to never share this level of data with organizations, and we think that’s a good idea.
