How Cookies Are Used
We use cookies to understand what pages and information visitors find useful, and to detect problems such as broken links, or pages which are taking a long time to load. We sometimes use cookies to remember a choice you make on one page, when you have moved to another page if that information can be used to make the website work better. For example:
- avoiding the need to ask for the same information several times during a session (e.g. when filling in forms), or
- remembering that you have logged in, so that you don’t have to re-enter your username and password on every page.

Name: _utma Typical content: randomly generated number Expires: 2 years
Name: _utmb Typical content: randomly generated number Expires: 30 minutes
Name: _utmc Typical content: randomly generated number Expires: when user exits browser
