Service providers want to make their services easy, useful and reliable. This sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your computer while you are visiting a website. These are called ‘cookies’.
Cookies help to make websites work. They can also provide information about how users interact with a website. These cookies cannot be used to identify you personally and are used to improve services for you through, for example:
Enabling a service to recognise your computer so you don’t have to give the same information during one task; and
Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and that there is enough capacity to ensure they are fast.

Visitors to a website typically have the opportunity to set their browser to accept all or some cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that personalised services cannot be provided and the user may not be able to take full advantage of all of a website’s features. Refer to your browser’s Help section for specific guidance on how it allows you to manage cookies and how you may delete cookies you wish to remove from your computer.
By law, we may not place cookies on your computer without your consent, unless they are strictly necessary to the operation of the service that we provide on the Website.
