Cookies are used to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited the website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when the site isn’t working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps to continuously improve the website. These so-called “analytics” programs also inform, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping to put more money into developing the services you want.
