If you prefer not allow the use of cookies, you can change the configuration of your browser to either warn you when you receive a cookie, or to automatically reject them. You may find, however, that disabling cookies means certain areas of the site do not function correctly.

We do not automatically log personal data nor do we link information automatically logged by other means with personal data about specific individuals.
