What are Cookies?

When we provide services or information via this website, we want to make it easy, useful and reliable. This sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device (eg computer, tablet or mobile phone) known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.

Cookies are most frequently used for the following purposes:

• to recognise your device when you visit a website
• to recognise that you may have already given a username and password, so you don’t need to do it for every web page you visit
• to improve the website’s usability and ensure there’s enough capacity and make it easier and better to use
• to analyse the use of a website, for example by counting the number of unique hits and pages visited.
