What Is a Cookie?

This website uses cookies. A cookie is a small text-based file placed on your device by a website you visit.

Cookies help us improve your experience and understand how our website is used.

Anonymous Analytics Cookies

Some of the cookies we use are known as analytics cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the website while using it. This helps us improve how our website works, for example by ensuring users can easily find the information they are looking for. The information collected by these cookies is anonymous and does not identify you personally. It does not contain personal information such as your name or email address and is used solely for statistical and performance purposes.
