3. How Does Our Site Use Cookies?
Our Site comprises public areas and private areas which operate as two distinctly separate and segregated systems, and which perform different functions.
Users who access the public areas of Our Site, which are hosted in WordPress, may receive certain third-party Cookies on their computer or device. Third-party Cookies are those placed by websites, services, and/or parties other than us. Third-party Cookies are used on the public areas of Our Site for anonymous statistical analysis and marketing purposes. For more details, please refer to section 4 below.
Users who access the private areas of Our Site will be required to log in to access these areas. The private areas of Our Site are segregated from and operate on a completely independent system to the public areas of Our Site. We do not employ third-party cookies on the private areas of Our Site at present. Should this change, this notification will be updated, and you will be notified accordingly.
We use such Cookies to facilitate and improve your experience of Our Site and to provide and improve Our products and / or services. We have carefully chosen these Cookies and have taken steps to ensure that your privacy and personal data is protected and respected at all times.
All Cookies used by and on Our Site are used in accordance with current Cookie Law. We may use some or all of the following types of Cookie:
