Cookie Policy

1. Privacy & cookies

As of May 2011 new EU legislation has been implemented into UK legislation concerning the use of ‘cookies’ on a website, this legislation is being often referred to as ‘cookies’ legislation and provides that consent must be obtained from users of a website to have cookies ‘placed’ on their computers when they visit the site. A 'cookie' is a small file of letters and numbers that allow a website to recognise a visitor's pc, mobile or other device. When a visitor accesses website features that use cookies, cookies are downloaded on to their device. The information accessed by the cookie is used to improve the user experience on the website by, for example:

  • Ensuring the user does not have to give the same information several times during one task
  • Recognising that the user has given a user name and password so that this is not necessary for every web page requested
  • Measuring how many people are using services, and which pages they are visiting so that the site can be made easier to use and has enough capacity.

Cookies aren’t used to identify you personally. They’re just here to make the site work better for you. The cookies we use are listed below, with descriptions and expiry dates. You can manage cookies and delete them if you wish – but doing so may adversely affect the experience you have on the site. To learn more about cookies and how to manage them, visit AboutCookies.org.
