9. How we use cookies
Changes in the law mean that from 26 May 2011 we need your permission to save cookies on your machine. Please read the below carefully.
Cookies are small files which are sent to your browser (for example Internet Explorer or Firefox) and stored on your computer's hard disk. They only identify your computer and not you personally.

_utma tracks whether you have visited the website before. It is set to expire 2 years after your last visit.
_utmb establishes a ‘user session’ and tracks which pages you look at on this visit to the website. It is set to expire 30 minutes after your last visit.
_utmc is connected with _utmb and expires when you closed your browser, rather than just visit another website.
_utmz tracks whether you have come to the website from a search engine, another website or have typed the web address directly into your browser. It is set to expire 6 months after it was last set.
We encourage you to accept the cookies our website uses as they help us to improve the user experience for you and many others.
