ESSENTIAL COOKIES

Session Cookies

We use a session cookie on our site so that your visit, or "session" is distinguished from other users who are visiting at the same time. A session cookie contains a unique visitor id (a 32 character alphanumeric string that is unique to your visit. It contains no data that could identify you). This session cookie is essential to our website's functionality and is deleted once you close your browser window.

NON ESSENTIAL COOKIES

We use cookiebot to manage your cookie preferences on this site.

This cookie is necessary to ensure that no other unnecessary cookies are set before you give your consent. You can change your preferences at any time by using the Cookie settings at the bottom of this page.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to learn about how visitors use our site so that we can make decisions. We do not collect any data that could identify you personally. All data, including your IP address, is anonymised before it is sent to Google Analytics servers in Ireland. We keep this data for 14 months before deletion.

You'll recognise Google Analytics cookies as follows:

1. _ga - set for 2 years. Assigns a randomly generated number to identify each unique visitor throughout their visit on our site. Provides visitor, session and campaign data.
2. _ga_# - set for 2 years. Used to collect data on the number of times a user has visited the website as well as dates for the first and most recent visit.
3. _gid - set for 24 hours. Used to uniquely identify visitors.
4. _gat - set for 10 minutes Used to throttle the request rate, limiting the collection of data on high traffic sites.
