We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised statistical information on the use of our site.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded on to your computer, tablet or smartphone, when you visit a website. Cookies are used by most websites, and are designed to either ensure all the website’s features work properly or to provide the website owner with anonymous information about how you use their site so they can make improvements to the user experience.

The rules on cookies are covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. The Regulations also cover similar technologies for storing information, eg Flash cookies. The Regulations were revised in 2011, and the ICO is responsible for enforcing these new rules.
