We use Google Analytics™ to collect information about and analyse how visitors use our website. Google Analytics™ creates a number of first party cookies, all prefixed __utm, as follows:

• __utma: contains a unique and anonymous identifying ID, which allows us to ensure that subsequent visits to our website are recorded as belonging to the same (unique) visitor. This cookie expires after two years.
• __utmb: used to stablish and continue a unique user session. Each time you request another page from the website the cookie is updated to expire after 30minutes.
• __utmc: works with __utmb to determine when to create a new session for a website visitor. This is a session cookie and expires when you exit the browser.
• __utmt: this cookie is set by Google Analytics - it is used to throttle the request rate for the service - limiting the collection of data on high traffic sites. It expires after 10 minutes.
• __utmz: tracks how you found us and is used to calculate traffic and navigation within the website. It is updated with every new page view and expires after 6 months.
• You may also sometimes find a __utmv cookie which relates to custom reporting segments, a feature which is occasionally used on Google Analytics™.

The information collected is completely anonymous and may expire after the current session or last longer. We do not allow external organisations to access, use or share any of this information.

Full details of the cookies which Google Analytics™ uses can be found on the 'Cookies and Google Analytics' page of Google™'s website at:
