Cookies
When you visit our website we want to make the experience straight forward, useful and reliable.
To deliver this effectively this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device.

- enabling a page 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 easier to use and there's enough capacity to ensure they are fast
You can manage these small files yourself and learn more about them through:
