What are cookies?
A 'cookie' is a small piece of information which can be placed into your Internet browser by a website you have visited. These can be retrieved at a later date by the website which originally placed the cookie.
Some cookies only last as long as you browse a particular website, and are deleted as soon as you move to another site. Other cookies are stored by your browser and later retrieved by that website when you visit it again. Typically this type of cookie could deliver a personalised welcome message since it will 'recognise' the user.
How we use cookies on our websites.
Our websites need cookies to operate properly. When using our websites, it is important that your Internet browser is set to accept cookies, otherwise you will not be able to use the services to their full potential, with some functions not working at all.
As our website includes the ability to carry out transactions online, we use cookies to perform a number of tasks, which include:
- Online sign-in authentication
- 'Timeout' processing (e.g. automatically signing-off a user after 5 minutes of inactivity for security purposes)
Cookies also help provide you with informational messages, and ensure your transactions are secure.
If you want to delete any cookies already on your computer, please refer to your file management software instructions on how to find the file or directory that stores cookies.

Our main use of the personal information you supply over the Internet is to provide the specific service you require.
The Data Protection Act 1998 obliges us to lodge a notification with the Office of the Information Commissioner describing the purposes for which we process personal information.
