Cookies
Like most sites on the internet, we use small text files called
'cookies' to help analyse how visitors use our website and to
improve our service.
Accepting cookies from this site may enhance your experience.
If you continue without changing your settings, we'll assume
that you are happy to receive all cookies used on our website [You
can see a full list of these cookies below]. However, if you would
like to, you can change your browser's cookie
settings at any time.
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful
and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet,
this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on
your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include
small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you
personally.
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
- measuring how many people are using services, so they can be
made easier to use and there's enough capacity to ensure they are
fast
You can manage these small files yourself and learn more about
them through "Internet browser cookies - what they are and how to
manage them".
