We and carefully selected third parties also use cookies to show you more relevant advertising online.

We also use cookies to ensure that our website remains secure and that requests for pages on the website are coming from real humans are and not harmful, automated ‘bots’. These cookies do not collect or store any personal data or any information that could uniquely identify you as an individual.

We may incorporate social plugins for various online social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) into some pages on our website. These services may use their own cookies (third-party cookies) to identify you and track information about your visit to our website.

3. What is a cookie

In general, we use the following types of cookie:

4. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies services you have asked for like online purchases and e-billing, cannot be provided.

5. Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.

6. Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located.

These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or downloading a form. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

7. Google Analytics
The CIPS uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics collects first party cookies, which are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour. This information is sent to Google and is used to evaluate how our website is being used. This enables us to compile statistical reports. A full list of cookies used by Google Analytics and explanations on how these work are available on the Google code website.

The CIPS does not collect (nor allow any third party to collect) personally identifiable information of visitors to our site. We will not associate any data gathered with any personally identifying information. We will not link or seek to link an IP address with the identity of a computer user. In short, Google Analytics doesn’t identify who you are, but it does track your movements on our websites.
