Cookies

To make this website easier to use, we sometimes place small text files on your device (for example your mobile phone or laptop) called cookies. Most big websites do this too.

Cookies 'remember' bits of information from your visit to the site. They are simple text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by a website's server. Only that server can retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. So if we put a cookie on your computer, it can't be read by any other website.

These cookies improve things such as measuring how you use the website so that we can make sure it meets your needs.

By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

Our cookies are not used to identify you personally. They are just here to make the site work better for you. You can manage and/or delete these files as you wish.

How you use this website (something called Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how people use this site. We do this to make sure it is meeting peoples’ needs and to understand how we can make the website work better.

Google Analytics stores information about what pages on this site you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on while you are here.

We do not collect or store any other personal information (e.g. your name or address), so this data cannot be used to identify who you are.

We also collect data on the number of times a word is searched for and the number of failed searches. We use this information to improve access to the site and identify gaps in the content and see if it is something we should add to the site.

Unless the law allows us to, we do not:

• share any of the data we collect about you with others, or

• use this data to identify individuals
