We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. This data gives us vital information about how our site is used, where there might be issues and help up maintain and build a better experience for our customers. If you do not wish to accept these, or any cookies, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies via the browser settings. It is worth noting that in the event that cookies are disabled you will find that certain functions on our site will not work correctly. For signed up customers we will capture an anonymised federated ID which we can reference back to your account which allows us to track your actions – no personal identifiable information will be captured or stored. You can find out more about Google’s position on privacy as regards its analytics service at http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html |
