  • To analyse use of the site by, for example, recognizing and counting the number of visitors and how they move around the site. This helps us to see what parts of the site are popular and which sections need improving to make the experience better for users; and
  • To record your visit to the site and the pages you have visited and the and links you have followed. We will use this to make the site more relevant to your interests.
