Google Analytics enables us to collect information about visitor behaviour on our website. This cookie enables us to:

  • Learn which pages of our website you visit; and
  • Learn how you got to our website and what you click on.

This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.
