Introduction

The purpose of this Policy is to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about our use of internet browser cookies, to help you make an informed decision when using our website. 

Introduction to cookies

When we provide member benefits and services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where these are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, a computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies.

These pieces of information are used to improve our service to you through, for example:

  • Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task
  • Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there's enough capacity to ensure they are fast
  • Analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with our services so we can make them better.
