A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings, that can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Most cookies will
not collect information that identifies you and instead will collect more general information such as how you arrived at and used our website, or your general geographical location.
Some people prefer not to allow cookies, which is why most browsers give you the ability to manage cookies to suit you.
In some browsers you can set up rules to manage cookies on a site-by-site basis, giving you more fine-grained control over your privacy. What this means is that you can disallow cookies from all sites except those that you trust.
You can delete cookies and other site and plug-in data, including data stored on your device by the Adobe Flash Player (commonly known as Flash cookies) by clearing your browser cache. How you clear your cache depends on the web browser you are using. You can learn how here: https://www.attacat.co.uk/resources/cookies or follow the links below:

It’s important to note that turning off cookies is likely to limit the functionality of not only our
website, but also the functionality of a large number of the world’s websites, and accordingly,
your experience of ours and other websites may be impaired because data is no longer being
captured about your interactions.
It may be that your concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware” and in which case,
rather than switching off cookies in your browser, you may find that anti-spyware software
achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one the user is visiting. This typically
occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media
plugins or advertising. When the browser or other software fetches these elements from the
other sites, they can set cookies as well.
We do not control the use of these third-party cookies and cannot access them due to the way
that cookies work, as cookies can only be accessed by the party that originally sets them.
Please check the third-party websites for more information about these cookies.
