Cookie Usage

Cookies are small text files that can be used by web sites to make a user’s experience more efficient. The only cookies we currently use relate to Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service provided by Google, Inc which allows us to analyse and understand how people use the website. Google Analytics counts the number of visitors and tells us things about their behaviour overall – such as the typical length of stay on the site, the average number of pages a user views, and whether people found new content when it is published. We perform this analysis to help us improve the usage and effectiveness of the website. The data collection and reporting behind this analysis is currently provided by Google Analytics. The cookies used by this website to deliver the Google Analytics service are described in the table below.
