Cookie Policy
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, a computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites save to your computer.
These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
- Remembering settings, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you visit a new page.
- Remembering information you’ve given (e.g. your postcode) so you don’t need to keep entering it.
- Measuring how you use the website so we can make sure it meets your needs.
