Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are saved to your computer. We use cookies to remember users during a visit, upon return to the site, and are required to enable certain functionality. In addition, cookies are used to help us understand how our visitors use our website and we use this information to help plan improvements to the site. For example, using persistent cookies allows us to recognise you when you return to the site, identify your preferences so as to provide you with a more personalised service and speed up searches that you conduct when visiting. Below are details of how we currently use cookies.

 If you wish to restrict or block the use of cookies on your computer when you visit our website, you can do this through the cookie preference on your internet browser settings. You can also delete cookies already on your computer using your browser. 

Some functionality on our website will not work if you disable ‘strictly necessary’ cookies in your browser.

 Support EFSL and third parties make use of cookies when you visit websites. The following is a description of the types of cookie that we use, why they are used:

• FUNCTIONAL COOKIES: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly. 

• STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. 

• PERFORMANCE COOKIES: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance. 

• PERSISTENT COOKIES: These cookies allow us to retain information and settings about a user for more than one session. These cookies stay on a computer or a device until they expire or a user removes them. They enable us to recognise a user when they return to our site, identify their preferences so as to provide a user with a more personalised service and speed up searches a user conducts when visiting the site.  

• SESSION COOKIES: These cookies are used by us to recognise a user throughout a visit. This enables us to remember information that you have entered.
