Our use of cookies and other information-gathering technologies

A "cookie" is a small text file which is either stored on the user/client hard drive, or in memory until the browser is closed. Cookies help tracing users from page to page on a website. They are generated by web servers when the user enters a website, and are passed to the user's computer and stored for subsequent future access.

We only use cookies in certain areas of our website where we need to remember login details and passwords so that users do not need to log on every time they access those areas of the website.
