  • Help us understand how people are using our site so we can make it better.
  • Help us personalise the site by remembering your preferences, showing you content that may be most relevant to you and remembering your progress, so you can pick up where you left off if you’re completing a form or watching a video, for example.
  • Find out if our emails have been read and if you find them useful.
