Cookies Policy

Introduction

Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser on your computer, tablet or mobile phone. They allow us to give you the best browsing experience and mean that we can understand how you use our website. They are used by almost all websites, for a variety of purposes: to personalise pages and remember visitor preferences; to anaylse visitor behaviour or to manage shopping carts in online stores. You can delete and block cookies but this may give you a lower browsing experience. By using our website you accept our use of cookies.

Cookies

Cookies are downloaded onto a user’s device when they visit a particular website, and each time the user visits that website it checks to see if the relevant file is on the user’s computer and uses the information to improve the user’s experience.

Some commercial websites embed advertising material into their websites, which are served by third-party sites. These adverts also store a cookie on the user’s machine enabling the third-party site to track the user’s movements and serve adverts deemed relevant to that user. The Elstree website does not use cookies in this way.

Using your browser settings you are able to allow or restrict either all cookies or by individual website. Each internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc.) is different but the ‘help’ function within your browser should tell you how to do this.
