We want you to get the most out of using this website which is why we use cookies to track your online journey.

All about cookies

A cookie is a tiny file that is stored on your computer or browser when you visit most websites. We use cookies to enable you to browse our website and use its features (e.g. informing us how many visitors we have to the site and what content is of most interest to you). This helps us to ensure our site is designed to make finding what you need as quick and easy as possible.

Our cookies don’t harm your computer and don’t store personally identifiable information (i.e. information which can be used to reveal who you are), just the unique identifier that is associated with that information.

Types of cookies we use:

Session cookies

Webpages have no memories. A user going from page to page will be treated by the website as a completely new visitor. Session cookies enable the website you are visiting to keep track of your movement from page to page so you don’t get asked for the same information you’ve already given to the site. Cookies allow you to proceed through many pages of a site quickly and easily without having to authenticate or reprocess each new area you visit.

Performance cookies

We collect non-personalised information about your visit to help us enhance your experience on this site, such as some of the pages you visit and some of the searches you perform. These cookies don’t collect information to identify you, all information is non-personalised and only used to help us improve how the website works. We use it to improve the contents of the site, to compile (for internal market research purposes), aggregate statistics about site usage and to resolve errors.

Web beacons

We also use web beacons on our website to track activity between pages and features.
