A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but usually you can alter the settings of your browser to prevent automatic acceptance. If you continue without changing your settings, we’ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies our websites set. If you choose not to receive cookies, you may still use most of the features of this website.

The features using cookies on this site are:

• Google Analytics – web statistics software tracks visits to our site completely anonymously. No personal details are stored.
• Accessibility options in the top toolbar – if cookies are blocked, these options will not stay in force when moving between pages.
• Forms – our electronic forms use cookies to enable you to move between sections in the forms. Forms with more than one page will not function if cookies are blocked.
• Maps – our mapping system uses cookies to store previously used location searches. If you stop cookies from being stored on your computer in the browser settings, you can still use the mapping system, but your searches will not carry across tabs in the system, nor will it remember searches you’ve done during previous visits.
• Login/Register function – a cookie is used to identify if you are logged in or not as you move around the site. If cookies are blocked, you will not be able to register and log in to the site.
