Cookies are small text files that are sent by web servers and stored on visitors computers so they can be read back later, a convenient way of allowing a computer to remember specific information relating to a web site and provide a better user experience.

The cookies we use on this site are 'analytical' cookies, created by Google Analytics, to track basic anonymous information. These cookies are unobtrusive and allow both the web site to function and for us to obtain information about the usage of our site, viewing data such as the number of visits, duration of each visit and path taken by the user around the site. This allows us to improve the way our web site works by, for example, gauging the most popular pages.
