Cookies Policy
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or device in which the website holds information about your visit.
There are two main types of cookie in use on the web today:
- Session cookies: Stored on a temporary basis and generally deleted when you close your browser. Used primarily to help you complete tasks online, for instance remembering your details during form submissions to save you re-entering; or remembering search terms you have recently used.
- Persistent cookies: Stored for a fixed period of time, generally so the website knows that you have visited previously and any preferences you indicated at that time. Used particularly in the collection of visitor statistics.
These cookies are usually set in one of two ways:
- First party cookie: Set directly by the website you are visiting and the information is only used by that website.
- Third party cookie: Set by a different website/organisation to the one you are currently using and the data may be shared.
Why do we use cookies?
We use a blend of cookie types to help improve your experience of using our website, expressly by:
- Helping to make form submission (particularly over multiple pages) easier.
- Remembering preferences you have previously indicated to us.
- Capturing user feedback and ensuring we only ask once.
- Understanding how many people have visited our website, the search terms they are using and the journeys they make in order to locate content.
- Remembering your login details if you wish to be automatically signed in to the website next time you visit.
We do not use the information captured for any other purpose.
Cookies and the law
A European privacy law – the "e-Privacy Directive" – came into force in the UK on 25 May 2011, which aims to give users of websites and other digital media more control over the information that is collected about them.
In essence, they want to make users more aware of cookies and ensure that their consent is sought before potentially private information is stored.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is responsible for enforcement of the directive in the UK and more information can be found on their website. Our ICO registration number is ZC057392.
Cookies are also governed by the Data Protection Act 1998, in particular the first and third data protection principles.
