Usage data, IP Addresses And Cookies

We do collect information about your electronic device, such as IP address, operating system, browser type and browser window size. We also use four cookies to store limited information on your device, none of which store personally identifiable data

• A session cookie (deleted when you leave) to pass parameters like "lines per page" between web pages.
• Another session cookie (deleted when you leave) to pick up the browser window width and height, so that we can adjust the web page to provide best fit to your browser and make our website as easy as possible to view.
• A permanent cookie, which contains an anonymous unique number (eg 12375) which we use as part of identifying Unique Visitors to this website.
• Another permanent cookie, which tracks whether that Unique Visitor has accepted or declined our cookies on their last visit to this website – so we don’t keep asking you the same question.
• We do analyse website performance using IP Address and Unique Visitor but that analysis includes your usage but nothing about you and is used purely to improve the quality of the website.
