Cookie Policy

COOKIES are small files containing information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive that can be read by your web browser. Our website uses several different types of cookies to improve our site and your user experience. They cannot be used to identify you personally, cannot carry viruses, or install malware.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a piece of data sent to your device from a website. This means the website can recognise your device if you return to the same website. Cookies do not contain any personal information about you and cannot be used to identify an individual user. A cookie often includes a unique identifier, which is an anonymous number (randomly generated) and is stored on your device. Some expire at the end of your website session; others remain on your computer for longer.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example, enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task, e.g. filling out a web form or a web survey.

On many of our pages we embed ‘share buttons’ (from Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc) to enable our users to easily share our content with their friends through these services. These sites may also set cookies.

On many of our pages we embed Google Analytics which uses cookies for analytical reasons. These allow us to count the number of visitors our site receives and to see how users move around our site. This helps us to improve the way our website works and ensure the best possible user experience.
