Cookies are small text files that help organise and store browsing information to allow us to recognise and sometimes track usage. There are two main types of cookies:

  • Session cookies – Session cookies allow us to link your actions during a single browser session. They are not stored long term and are considered ‘less privacy intrusive’ than persistent cookies.

Our cookies

We use Google Analytics to measure how users interact with website content. It does not collect any personal information about our website users and supports two JavaScript libraries (tags) for measuring website usage: analytics.js and ga.js.

A recent audit of other cookies on our website show these to be ‘session’ cookies and are not considered ‘intrusive’ to a visitors privacy.

‘Persistent cookies’ are only used where the visitor is required to log in to view information; these are essential for this site to operate effectively.

Cookies are stored in your browser for 1 year and can be cleared by clicking the ‘reset’ button or by deleting your cookies.
