The Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to Your computer or mobile phone browser from a website's computer and is stored on Your device's hard drive.
We will not use cookies to collect personal identifiable information about You. However, if You wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by the College Site, You can do this through your browser settings and the Help functions within Your browser should tell You how to do this.
We keep track of what pages and links are popular and which pages/sections don't get used so much to help Us keep our site up to date. It's also useful to be able to identify trends of how people navigate through our Site.
This group of cookies, called “analytic cookies” are used to gather this information. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor and are cookies used and set by Google Analytics. You can view Google’s privacy document on their use of cookies, including analytical cookies, on their website here.

Cookie Information |

Used by Google Analytics. Each unique browser that visits a page on the site is provided with a unique ID via the __utma cookie. In this way, subsequent visits to the website via the same browser are recorded as belonging to the same (unique) visitor. Thus, if a person interacted with the website using different browsers, the Analytics reports would track this activity under two unique visitors. Similarly if the same browser were used by two different visitors, but with a separate computer account for each, the activity would be recorded under two unique visitor IDs. On the other hand, if the browser happens to be used by two different people sharing the same computer account, one unique visitor ID is recorded, even though two unique individuals accessed the site. |

Google Analytics uses these two cookies to establish a session. If either of these two cookies is absent, further activity by the user initiates the start of a new session. |

When visitors reach the site via a search engine result, a direct link, or an ad that links to the page, Google Analytics stores the type of referral information in a cookie. The parameters in the cookie value string are parsed and sent in the GIF Request (in the utmcc variable). The expiration date for the cookie is set as 6 months into the future. This cookie gets updated with each subsequent page view to the site; thus it is used to determine visitor navigation within the site. |

Why do I have to accept to allow cookies?
On 26 May, 2011 the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) imposed an EU directive designed to protect internet users' privacy. On 26 May, 2012 this directive became compulsory. The amended law says that sites must provide an ‘Opt-in’ system to allow Cookies to be used. By using this Site, you agree we can set and use cookies. Some of the cookies we use are essential for parts of the site to operate and have already been set.

If you do not see the blue bar, you may have already accepted this agreement. When you accept the agreement, a cookie will be placed on your machine as detailed above.
