What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (e.g. login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How we protect your data
Our website is a secure site and you will notice the small green padlock and the word Secure next to it in the address bar. This means that any data transferred from our site to any of our partners mentioned above is encrypted. Access to our system and website control panel is restricted to authorised staff only who have had staff training in data protection issues. We use complicated passwords on devices that have access to our systems.
What data breach procedures we have in place
Your data is massively important to you – and us. At the back end of our website we use a system called Wordfence which provides a firewall between our site and the internet. You can read about it here. If we were to suspect there were to be a breach in our data processing, we would immediately suspend our website to investigate and change all relevant passwords on all devices that have access to our ‘backend’ systems. Only when we were sure that the data breach had been dealt with would we take our site back online. If the data breach took place through one of our data processing partners, we would send an email to you explaining the situation and their recommendations.
