(3)      About cookies
A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies can be used by web servers to identity and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website.  Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies.  A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).  A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

(4)      Our cookies
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on this website.

(5)      Third party and analytics cookies
When you use our website, you may also be sent third party cookies.  Our service providers may send you cookies. They may use the information they obtain from your use of their cookies:

(a)  to track your browser across multiple websites
(b)  to build a profile of your web surfing;
(c)  to target advertisements which may be of particular interest to you.  In addition, we use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website.

Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html We publish Google AdSense interest-based advertisements on our website.
