  • ​Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is processed in a way which does not identify an individual. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
  • Bing webmaster toolset. Like Google Analytics this provides some basic information on the webpages visited and other key information to help us make our site and content better for visitors.

If we do collect personally identifiable information through our website, we always make this clear.
