SITE VISITATION TRACKING AND COOKIES

Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.

We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section below).

A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by that browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a name from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. FYI our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.

Most browsers allow you to disable the acceptance of cookies which will stop any tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.  This may, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of some sections and features of some web sites
