Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour on our site. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on our site, how you got here and what you click on. These analytical cookies help us improve the way our site works. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (such as your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

We use a session cookie to remember your log-in for you if you are a registered user and we deem these as being strictly necessary for the operation of our site. If these are disabled then some functionality on our site will not work.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
These are cookies set on your machine by external websites whose services are used on our site, over which we have no control. Cookies of this type are the sharing buttons across the site that allow visitors to share content onto social networks. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of our site.
You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
