Privacy Policy

Introduction

We want to make our services simple, useful and reliable. Where we provide services online this sometimes involves placing small pieces of information on your device (computer or mobile phone) in the form of a ‘cookie’ stored in your web browser.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you, for example by:

Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
Recognising 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 many people are using services, so they can be made simpler to use or respond more quickly
Recognising which people are visiting our web pages through social media sites, to make it possible to use targeted advertising to ensure you are seeing our most relevant content

We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you.

If you’d like to learn more about cookies or find out how to manage or remove cookies set on your device, visit the About cookies website. Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact some non-critical functionality of our website.
