Website statistics
We collect information about visitors to our website to help us measure its use. We use this information solely to improve the service the website provides, and the information we gather cannot be used to identify you individually. To get this data we use a product called Google Analytics.
The Google Analytics software uses 'cookies' (small files stored on your computer that hold data about your activity on our website). These are used to gather data about where you go on our site, what links you follow and how long you stay for. They also gather other non-personal information, such as the operating system and screen resolution you are using on your computer.
None of the data collected by this software can be used to identify you personally, and it is aggregated together with the information from other visitors to our site to produce anonymous statistics. It is these statistics - not the information from individual visitors - that gives us a picture of the use of our site.
