We do monitor website visitor traffic through Google Analytics. For detailed information about Cookies please visit the ICC Cookie Guide or allaboutcookies.org.

The second are ‘Performance Cookies’, which, as mentioned above, are used to monitor the site’s usage and improve how the site works. Category three Cookies, called ‘Functional Cookies’ remember choices you make, such as username, language, region etc. They are designed to give you a more personalised experience, e.g. local weather or traffic news. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymous but cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
