A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.
We use the following cookies:

  • Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed.

PHPSESSID

This cookie is written to the browser upon the first page request of the session. This randomly generated ID identifies the user session to maintain the logged-in state in the member area, and allows the server to match Event payment information to the browsing user until the payment is finished.

The cookie is stored only for the session (the browser deletes it when the browser window is closed)

__utma

This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit to our site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits our site, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to our site and it is updated with each page view. Additionally, this cookie is provided with a unique ID that Google Analytics uses to ensure both the validity and accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure.

2 years from set/update.

__utmb

This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with our site. When a user views a page on our site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on our site, this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals. This cookie expires when a user pauses on a page on our site for longer than 30 minutes.

30 minutes from set/update.

__utmc

Expires when the user exits the browser

It is used to calculate search engine traffic, ad campaigns and page navigation within your own site. The cookie is updated with each page view to our site.

6 months from set/update.

We never use the data gathered through cookies to contact you via post, email or phone.

We may share personal information gathered through cookies when you have given us express consent to do so.

The cookies we use are completely safe and secure. The cookies we use cannot look into your computer, Smartphone or web-enabled device and obtain information about you or your family or read the material kept on your hard drive.

Our cookies cannot be used by anyone else who has access to the computer to find out anything about you, other than the fact that someone using the computer may have visited a certain website.
