Google Analytics Cookies

As part of our ongoing mission to understand and improve how our customers interact with our online services, we use Google Analytics to record anonymised non-personal information about you for reporting and decision-making. Such information includes, but is not limited to: geographical location (accurate to the country you are in), technology used to access the site, pages visited, links visited and behaviour while on our site. In order to record and report on this information, Google Analytics uses cookies.

These cookies are optional and we will ask your choice on the use of analytics cookies. The analytics cookies are added only if you agree to their use. We store your choice using a cookie (GACOOKIE) which is kept for a year unless you clear the cookies manually.

By blocking these cookies we will not be able to gather any information about your visit - this will not increase your personal privacy while browsing but will prevent us helping to understand our users better for the purpose of improving our online services.
