We currently analyse our website usage using software called Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitors, but does not collect personal data. Analysing the usage of our website helps us to improve the site, tailoring our content to ensure it meets the needs of our users.

The only other cookies we use on the site are for:

Tabs – some of our web pages are laid out in tabs, to help make the information easier to read. The website will generate a cookie to identify which Tab is selected and open on a page. The only data stored is about the page and the tab and not about the user.
