Cookies

This page describes how we treat the information provided by visitors, what other information we gather and how we use it, why we sometimes need to store “cookies” and how to prevent this.

In common with almost all professionally run websites, this website logs the IP address of each visitor in order to keep it running reliably. This is also essential for protecting the website and its visitors from malicious attacks, including infection with malware.

This website provides information as a service to visitors such as yourself, and to do this reliably and efficiently, it sometimes places small amounts of information on your computer or device (e.g. mobile phone). This includes small files known as cookies.

The cookies stored by this website cannot be used to identify you personally.

We use cookies to understand what pages and information visitors find useful, and to detect problems such as broken links, or pages which are taking a long time to load.

We sometimes use cookies to remember a choice you make on one page, when you have moved to another page if that information can be used to make the website work better. For example:

avoiding the need to ask for the same information several times during a session (e.g. when filling in forms), or
remembering that you have logged in, so that you don’t have to re-enter your username and password on every page.

We use analytics tools to measure how visitors use our website, which pages are viewed, how users navigate the site and how we can improve performance and usability.

We use Microsoft Clarity in partnership with Microsoft Advertising to capture behavioural metrics, heatmaps and session replays. This helps us understand how users interact with our website so that we can improve user experience, optimise our services and identify technical issues.

Microsoft Clarity may collect information including:

• Pages visited
• Mouse movements, scrolling and clicks
• Device and browser information
• IP address
• Time spent on pages

This information is collected using first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies.

Microsoft may process this information in accordance with its own Privacy Statement:

Microsoft Clarity cookies will only be set where you have provided consent via our cookie banner. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time.
