How do we use Cookies?

We use them in a few different ways. We use some cookies that we need to enable you to browse our website and use all of its features - without them we won’t be able to offer you all of the services available on our pages. When you sign into our pages, we use session cookies to work out which account you are signed in with, and if you are allowed access to a particular service or website area. Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from your device when your browser is closed. You can decline these if set your browser to, but please remember this might affect the usability of the website.
Another cookie we use is known as the Google Analytics cookie. This cookie is used to collect information about how you use our website. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the website, we don't share that information with third parties. The cookie collects information in an anonymous form, which means it cannot be linked back to you. It collects information such as the number of visitors using the website, where visitors have come to the website from and what pages they have visited.
