Cookie Policy

What are cookies?
Our website, like many others, uses cookies to work correctly.

When you access our website, cookies are small text files downloaded onto your device. They allow us to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions on our website, ultimately allowing us to improve your experience. This cookie policy describes the kinds of information that we gather, how we use the information, and why we need to store these cookies. We will also explain how you can prevent these cookies from being stored; however, this may downgrade or break certain elements of the site's functionality.

For more general information on cookies, see this Wikipedia definition.

How we use cookies
We use cookies to understand how users interact with our services and, thus, how we can improve them. Details of this usage are described below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to the site. It is recommended that you accept our usage of cookies if you are unsure whether you need them or not, in case they are necessary for a service you use.

The types of cookies we use
If you create an account at our site, we will use cookies to manage the sign-up process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases, they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.

We use cookies when you are logged in to remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.

When you submit data through a form such as a contact page or comment box, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence. To provide you with a great experience on this site, we provide the functionality to set your preferences for how this site runs when you use it.

To remember your preferences, we need to set cookies so that this information can be called whenever you interact with a page affected by your preferences.

Some cookies are persistent, meaning they remain stored on your device for one year.

As we sell services, we need to understand statistics on how many of the visitors to our site make a purchase, and thus cookies will track this kind of data. This is important to you as it means we can accurately make business predictions to monitor our advertising and product costs to ensure the best possible price.

The behavioural advertising cookies this site uses are designed to ensure that we provide you with the most relevant adverts where possible by anonymously tracking your interests and presenting similar things you may like.

In some cases, we may provide you with custom content based on what you tell us about yourself, directly or indirectly, if you link a social media account. These cookies simply allow us to provide you with content that interests you.

Use of third-party cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section specifies which third-party cookies you might encounter at this site and why we use them.

Third-party analytics are used to track and measure the usage of this site so that we can continue to produce engaging content. These cookies may track how long you spend on the site or pages you visit, which helps us understand how we can improve the site for you.

From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to how the site is delivered. While we are still testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure that you receive a consistent experience on our site. That way, we can understand which optimisations our users appreciate most.

Several partners advertise on our behalf, and affiliate-tracking cookies simply allow us to see if our customers have visited the site through one of our partner sites. This lets us credit them appropriately and also allows you to enjoy any bonuses they might be offering for use of their service.
