Our website is designed to provide you with information about the company, and links and articles we believe you will find interesting. We do not provide any services through the website, therefore the majority of data collected about individuals comes when you apply to a job or become a customer. Details of the data we consume in those circumstances can be found on our Data Protection page.
The data we do collect via your interaction with this website is in the form of Cookies:
What are Cookies?
Cookies are very small files in widespread use across almost every website you visit. Typically there are three types:
- ’Necessary’ Cookies help the website to work, lets you navigate between sections etc
- ‘Performance’ Cookies give the website owner some useful information, like how many visitors they have each week and what those visitors look at (and what doesn’t interest them)
- ‘Functionality’ Cookies remember inputs, like usernames or choices you make, so you don’t need to keep entering things next time you visit.
We use WordPress for the website and as public logins and comments are disabled, no WordPress performance Cookies are needed. If you click to accept cookies via the banner popup then the site adds ‘cookieconsent_status’ to your browser to show you’ve accepted cookies and the pop up doesn’t show again.
Within the site we use Google Analytics tracking code in order to see statistics like how many unique visitors our site generates, how they found us, and while they’re here what do they look at. We can then use this information to improve the site layout and content, or to write more articles on popular subjects based on what people like to read when they visit.
