A cookie is a small alphanumeric file that we store in your browser or on your computer’s hard drive if you agree to it. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. We use Google analytics/performance cookies; they allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they use it.
This helps us to improve our website, for example by making it easy for users to find what they are looking for.
Google analytics/performance cookies allow us to:
– determine which domain to measure
– recognise you when you return to our website
– remember the number and time of previous visits
– remember traffic source information
– determine the start and end of a session
– Remember the adjusted value of the visitor level variable.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, external service providers such as web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies that we cannot control. These cookies are more likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. Cookies can be blocked by activating a setting in your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you block all cookies (including essential cookies) in your browser settings, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website.
