Our own cookies
We use cookies to make our website work, including remembering pop-up options and compiling visitor statistics. There is no way to prevent these cookies being set other than to not use our site.
Anonymous visitor statistics cookies
We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at, etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called “analytics” programs also tell us if, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to better understand our audience.
Third party cookies
Our site, like most websites, includes functionality provided by third parties. A common example is an embedded YouTube or Vimeo video and SoundCloud audio file. While we have made an effort to minimise their use, some third party services embedded within this website set their own cookies.

Disabling these cookies will likely break the functions offered by these third parties
