How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive that helps analyse web traffic or tracks when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
We use traffic log cookies from Google Analytics to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to users’ needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies, or limit their use:
- Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also clear any existing cookies from within your browser. Click here for more information on how to do this.
- If you don’t want Google Analytics to be used in your browser, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Incognito mode in Chrome, Private Window in Mozilla Firefox and InPrivate in Edge allow you to browse the web without recording web pages and files in your browser or account history (unless you choose to sign in). Cookies are deleted after you’ve closed your windows and tabs.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages people find useful and which they do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you. The table below sets out the cookies that we use on this website:
| Cookie | Type | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cookie Header | Persistent | 1 year | In the footer of each web page on this site you will see a message alerting you of our privacy and cookie policy. If you've seen this message once, you probably won't want to see it again. We use a cookie to remember this setting. User data is all anonymous. |
| If you click on a facebook "like" link on our website, then facebook may store a cookie on your computer. | |||
| Google Analytics | To understand how people use our site, and to discover areas on our site with issues, we use Google Analytics. Most websites use some sort of analytics program like this. The data it collects helps us see things like how many people visit our site, which country they are from, how many pages they visited, how fast our site loaded, and so on. Within Google Analytics, we have NOT enabled data sharing with Google or demographic reports, and we have enabled the option to anonymise IP addresses. This means that all data collected is completely anonymous, so it does not identify you as an individual in any way. | ||
| WordPress | Persistent | 1 year | WordPress is the Content Management System (CMS) that runs this website. It uses a cookie when you log in and out, which is essential for proper website operation. It is only set if you are a registered user, so for most people it is not set at all. User data is all anonymous. |
