Types Of Cookie Used

When you visit our website, we send you a cookie. Cookies may be used in the following ways:

• To help us recognise you, so that you do not have to re-key your registration details.
• To help us recognise you as a unique visitor (just a number) when you return to our website, and to allow us to tailor content to match your preferred interests.
• To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our website, and to help us improve the structure of our website. We cannot identify you personally in this way.
