When you visit this website we issue a ‘Cookie’ to your computer.
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. They help us speed things up for you when you come back. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie you can still use our website, but functionality will be restricted, especially if you are purchasing something from us or booking a service.
If you’d like to find out more about the cookies the Interactive Advertising Bureau has produced a guide (http://www.allaboutcookies.org/) which explains to users how cookies work and can be managed.

The collection of information every time you log on to our website your IP (Internet Protocol) address registers on our servers. Your IP address reveals no information other than the number assigned to you. We do not use this technology to get any personal data against your knowledge or free will (i.e., automatically recording e-mail addresses of visitors). Nor do we use it for any purpose other than to help us monitor traffic on our website, or (in case of criminal activity or misuse of our information) to cooperate with law enforcement.
