What are Cookies?
Cookies are little pieces of information which pass between any website you are visiting and your computer, tablet or smartphone.
They are very clever and can be used to record how long you spend on a webpage, what links you click, even your preference for page layouts and colour schemes. They can also be used to store data on what is in your 'shopping cart', or tailor the adverts you see online to reflect your interests.

For information, Google Analytics is a tool we use to provide us with information on the use of our website. For example, it tells us the number of visitors the site receives every day, where they have come from, what content they read as well as how long they spend on the site. This helps us to understand use of our site and informs its development. Google Analytics only provides aggregated data and does not collect personal information - so we can't tell which individuals have visited the site or how they have made use of it.
