In brief, we only make use of cookies for user identification, for rapid log-in, and to analyse website traffic to improve the user experience.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored temporarily in your computer device when you visit our website, which only the original server can retrieve or read the contents of. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique alphanumeric identifier and the website name.
Cookies themselves don't hold personal information. In many cases, we won't be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you. They can, however, enable us to link that information back to you and your personal information, for example, when you log in, or choose to register for our service.
How we use cookies
We only use those cookies necessary for you to login and use the programme securely and for us to track and analyse usage and other statistical information, to improve the experience of users.

We only use these categories of cookie as detailed below.

If you use the 'Remember me' function at login we will make use of non-essential cookies that save your Username (email address) and Login token (encrypted User ID) enabling you to login automatically without needing to remember your credentials.
