Use of cookies
The Club website site uses only 'strictly necessary' cookies in order to function. A strictly necessary cookie is a type of cookie that is used by the website to function properly, without which the site would not work. This type of cookie does not collect any personally identifiable information about you and does not track your browsing habits. Strictly necessary cookies operate on landing which means it is not possible to offer users a banner offering the possibility of granting 'prior' consent to their use. These cookies are deemed to come under the exemption rules for OCC and therefore are also deemed as exempt from requiring a popup under PECR / ICO (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations / Information Commissioner’s Office) guidance.
