Performance cookies
We use these to help us improve the website. For example we want to find out which pages on our web site are the most popular. We also look at how long people spend on a page and whether they visit other pages or just one page.
For this functionality we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analytics tool provided by Google. It is used on a large number of websites. Google Analytics' customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website.
Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.
The cookies used by Google Analytics store information, such as the time of the visit, whether the visitor has been to the site before and what site referred the visitor to the web page.
Like many services, Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitor interactions.
We use the information to to help us improve our site.

The cookies and web beacons will send these advertisers information, including your IP address, your ISP and your browser. This information is used for geotargeting (eg only showing local ads to someone in the local area). It is also used to show certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who visits cooking sites).
