Cookie Policy
This website and online services, along with most other websites, uses cookies and similar technologies. For the purpose of this policy, 'cookies' and 'similar technologies' will be referred to collectively as 'cookies'.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing pieces of information that websites can store on your computer's hard disk. Cookies enable users to navigate around the website and (where appropriate) allow us to continually improve the website and make it more efficient to use on future visits.
Two types of cookies are used on this website:
Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your machine only for as long as you are on the website and are deleted after each visit.
Persistent cookies which remain on your machine until expiry or deletion (many of these have automatic deletion dates). Persistent cookies may store your personal preferences, for example your language preferences on multi-lingual sites. They may also be used to record activity you may have previously completed, such as completing an online survey, so that you are not asked to complete the survey every time you use the site.
Use of cookies on this website
This site also uses some 'strictly necessary' cookies within its online services. These are limited to those deemed essential to provide you with the services you have requested, for example 'Eligbility Check' and 'Application Form' and therefore must be allowed in order to continue with that service.
In addition, the site uses cookies to:
Collect anonymous information that will help the Trust understand visitor browsing habits on its website; compile statistical reports on website activity, e.g. number of visitors and the pages they visit; in some cases, remember information about you when you visit the site. The Trust may need to do this to provide some of its services.
The Trust may use third parties to assist with the analysis of visits to and performance of the website, but no personal information is collected and no personal information is sent to the third parties for this purpose.
The site does not use cookies to track your use of the internet after you leave the site, nor does it use them to store any personal information in them that others could read and understand.
Changing your cookie settings
You can block any cookies from any website through your browser settings. For more specific information about how to do this and how to manage cookies to suit your preferences, including deleting those that have already been added to your computer, please visit www.aboutcookies.org.
If you share the use of a computer, accepting or rejecting the use of cookies will affect all users of that computer.
