What are ‘cookies’?

‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences.

Analytics cookies

Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies and, if you don’t, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual users we have, and how often they visit the site.
