For the sake of ease, this notice uses the term ‘Cookies’ to describe both traditional cookies and web beacons.
Most cookies are benign and are there to improve your experience e.g. by remembering whether you are logged in or not; or to help the website owner improve their site e.g. counting the number of people who visit their website and which pages they visit most.

We do not make, and do not allow third parties to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website using cookies or the information gathered from them.
