Measuring website usage (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use our site. We do this to help make sure the site is meeting the needs of its users and to help us make improvements, for example, improving site search.

Google Analytics stores information about:

  • The pages you visit on
  • How long you spend on each page
  • How you got to the site
  • What you click on while you’re visiting the site

We don’t collect or store your personal information (for example your name or address) in this way so that information can’t be used to identify who you are. We don’t allow Google to use or share our analytics data.

Google Analytics sets the following cookies:

_gat     Used to manage the rate at which page view requests are made.  Expires 10 minutes

Google Analytics

_utmb   This works with _utmc to calculate the average length of time you spend on the site.  Expires 30 minutes

_utmc    This works with _utmb to calculate when you close your browser when you close your browser.

We measure how many people visiting are using JavaScript.

Our introductory message

You may see a pop-up welcome message when you first visit the site. We’ll store a cookie so that your computer knows you’ve seen it and knows not to show it again.

seen_cookie_message    Saves a message to let us know that you’ve seen our cookie message. Expires 1 month

Messages across the site   We might display a message on all pages to tell you about an important event or situation. We’ll save a cookie that will let us know how many times you’ve seen it, or if you’ve dismissed it.

Making secure connections to websites

Your browser uses cookies to make secure connections to websites with a ‘https’ URL. There are different versions for different levels of security.

Expires when you close your browser

External sites

Some pages include links to external sites run by other organisations. Those providers may implement similar or other cookies and, if so, will have their own cookies policy.

Our surveys

We select some users to take part in a survey. We use third-party survey platforms. If you take part, those sites adopt their own cookies and related policies, with regard to tracking your progress through a survey.
