How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your
computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps
analyse web traffic or lets you know 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.
Without cookies, websites and their servers would have no memory. A cookie,
like a key, enables swift passage from one place to the next. Without a cookie
every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will
treat you like a completely new visitor.
Websites typically use session cookies to ensure that you are recognised when
you move from page to page within one site and that any information you have
entered is remembered. For example, if an e-commerce site did not use session
cookies then items placed in a shopping basket would disappear by the time you
reach the checkout.
We also use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This
helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to
tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical
analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to
monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way
gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the
data you choose to share with us.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the
website.
