How we use cookies
We use cookies to track your use of our website, enabling us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns in terms of our website use. This helps us to develop and improve the website and our services in response to what you might need.
Cookies are either:
Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or
Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics.
Cookies can also be categorised as follows:
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when buying a service, and therefore cannot be turned off. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website and allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most popular. We use Google Analytics to provide these statistics, which are aggregated and anonymised, so do not allow us to identify you directly.
