Website Function Cookies

We use cookies to make our website work including:

• Making our donate function work
• Remembering your search settings
• Remembering if you have accepted our terms and conditions
• Remembering your preferences such as colours, text size and layout

Third party functions

Our site will link to, or have functions embedded from, 3rd party websites. These sites (www.facebook.com, www.twitter.com, www.youtube.com and www.vimeo.com) will have their own cookies and this policy does not cover them. The 3rd parties will have their own privacy notice so please consult these.

Visitor Statistics Cookies

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which 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.
