The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

 

However, we do not deliberately create or use cookies on this website in order to track users or identify them. There will be some created by the web browser and/or the web hosting application. These could potentially help us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We would only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data would be removed from the system.

 

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages our visitors find useful and which they do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
