Visitor

We
use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited

helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should for particular
technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc.
This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called “analytics”
programs also tell us if how people reached this site (e.g. from a search
engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money
into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.
Turning
Cookies Off
You

from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so however will likely limit the
functionality of our's and a large proportion of the world's websites as
cookies are a standard part of most modern websites
It
may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called
"spyware". 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. Learn more about managing cookies
with antispyware software.
