Session and persistent cookies can be either first- or third-party cookies. A first-party cookie is set by us, whilst a third-party cookie is provided by a third party that is providing a particular service.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. The cookies used by Google Analytics help us to analyse how users use the website and to count the number of people who use the website.

The US does not afford the same level of legal protections as are available in Europe, and in accepting our use of Google Analytics you are acknowledging that your anonymised IP address may be transferred to the US.
