SECTION 2 – USE OF COOKIES

We want to make our website as useful and reliable as possible. In order to make our website a better experience and to provide some of the services we provide we use small files, called cookies, to store small amounts of information on your device (e.g. PC, tablet or smart phone). They cannot be used to identify you personally.

For workshop and course bookings we use a secure software called Configio. We may place a “cookie” on the browser of your computer. Cookies are a technology that installs a small amount of information on the computer of a website user to permit the website to recognize future visits using that computer. Cookies may enhance the convenience and use of the Website. For example, the information provided through cookies may be used to recognize you as a previous user of the Website (so you do not have to enter your personal information every time), offer personalized information for your use, and otherwise facilitate your experience using the Website.

You may choose to decline cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of the Website. We may also use transparent images, and log file information to store user information, customize content, or monitor Website activity.

This information is used to improve services for you through, for example:

  • Recognizing that you may have set preferences on a previous visit so we can display content appropriate to you.
  • Measuring how people are using the website so we can improve how we present our content to you

There are two types of cookie you may encounter when using our website:

First party cookies: these are our own cookies, controlled by us and used to provide information about usage of our site.
