How long do we keep your information for?

To ensure we meet our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we only keep your information for as long as we need it for the purposes we initially acquired it for.

In most cases, this means we will keep your data for as long as you continue to show interest in our services, and for a reasonable amount of time afterwards to see if we can be of service later.

Following this we will delete it other than where we lawfully can keep any data for audit or legal reasons.

How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being viewed by our website visitors. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. It cannot be used to identify you individually.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you 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 – such as by filling in a contact form.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage or some website functions but, in the case of this website, it should not adversely affect your viewing experience.
