The Cookies that We use enable Us to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task. They also recognise when you have given your username and password so that you don’t need to do it for every web page that you visit. They also measure how many people use Our Site so that We can make it easier to use and ensure there’s enough capacity to make The Site fast.
