Most internet browsers, like FireFox, Safari or Google Chrome, let websites store simple text files called 'cookies' on your computer. 

They let websites remember things like your username or password so you don't need to re-type them every time you visit. They also help websites see how you use them, and this can be used to improve how websites work. 

Under the European (EU) Privacy Directive, we have a legal responsibility to tell you about the kind of cookies we use, what they're for and how to turn them off. We strongly suggest you accept our cookies though, to get the best possible service from our website.
