In order to facilitate your access to the data available from this website it is necessary to use cookies. How we do this varies according to which part of the website you are accessing and whether you are logged in.
Browsing the Website
When browsing the website pages without being logged in, we do not collect any infomation about you or your activities. However, when you use the search tool to search the database, we set a local session cookie to remember your search parameters -- this makes it easier for you to search the database. The local session cookies are destroyed when you close the browser window but we retain details about your search along with your IP address. We use this information for analysis purposes and for security reasons.

We also give you the option to set a semi-permanent cookie on your own computer to keep you logged in for longer -- this expires when you logout or within 10 days of you closing the browser. For analysis and security reasons, your activity when logged in as a Member is recorded.
