  35. Cookies When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. This sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your computer. These are called 'cookies'. These cookies cannot be used to identify you personally and are used to improve services for you, for example through:
    • ­ Letting you navigate between pages efficiently
    • ­ Enabling a service to recognise your computer so you don't have to give the same information during one task
    • ­ Recognising that you have already given a username and password so you don't need to enter it for every web page requested
    • ­ Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and that there is enough capacity to ensure they are fast  See allaboutcookies.org or www.youronlinechoices.eu to learn more about cookies.  Visit www.google.co.ukI/goodtoknow/data­on­the­web/cookies for a video about cookies.  Users typically have the opportunity to set their browser to accept all or some cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these options, of course, means that personalised services cannot be provided and the user may not be able to take full advantage of all of a website's features. Refer to your browser's Help section for specific guidance on how it allows you to manage cookies and how you may delete cookies you wish to remove from your computer.  Multiple cookies may be found in a single file depending on which browser you use.  The cookies used or to be used on this website have been categorised based on the categories found in the Irish Cookie Regulations ODPC, as follows:  Category 1: strictly necessary cookies These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website.

It is only used to improve how a website works.  Category 3: functionality cookies  These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as a live chat session. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.  Category 4: targeting cookies or advertising cookies  These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests.
