The information typically stored in cookies is used to improve services for you. For example:
- Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task.
- Recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don't need to do it for every web page requested.
- Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there's enough capacity to ensure they are fast.
- Analysing data to help us understand how you use our services so we can improve on them.
