A cookie can identify the pages that are being viewed, and this can assist us to select the pages that the viewer sees. Some cookies only exist whilst viewers are online, but “persistent” cookies – which are not session-based – remain on the viewers computer, so that he or she can be recognised as a previous visitor when he or she next visits our website. This allows us to collect information about a viewers browsing habits whilst on our site, and this can be useful in assisting us to monitor and improve our services.

Records remain on file for 6 years after they are closed, whether settled by you or defaulted.
