We use cookies to give you a good experience when you browse our site and to help us improve it.
A cookie is a small data file which, if you give consent, is stored on your browser or your computer hardware. Wikipedia’s lengthy definition [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie] starts by saying that a cookie is:
“… a small piece of data stored on the user’s computer by the web browser while browsing a website. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user’s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to remember pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields.”
We use cookies to analyse and improve how our website performs and is used, for example by seeing how many people visit the site and which pages they choose to look at.
We also use cookies to see when visitors return to our website and, if they have given us personal information, to personalise content to their needs and preferences.
