We sometimes place small data files on your computer, mobile phone or tablet. These are known as cookies. Most websites do this. They cannot be used to identify you personally. They’re just here to make the site work better for you. Indeed, you can manage and/or delete these small files as you wish. 

Cookies improve things by:

  • recognising your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task 
  • remembering that you may already have given a username and password so you don't need to do it for every web page requested 
  • measuring how you use the website so we can make sure it meets your needs
