What are cookies?
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable.

Cookies cannot harm your computer. They are used to improve our services by, for example, enabling us to recognise your device so you aren’t given the same information several times, and by measuring how many people are accessing certain pages so they can be made easier to use and so there’s enough capacity to ensure the pages are delivered quickly.
