Our website and social media guidelines

Our websites 

To improve visitor experience to the Authority’s website, we may use 'cookies' to enable the website to remember an individual’s use of the website either for the duration of the visit or for repeat visits. The Authority may use this information to help improve the website by understanding how it is used and how we can improve our communication with diverse audiences. We may also use other third party analytics tools (such as Sprinklr or Google Analytics) to improve our website, however these tools do not attempt to identify individual users in any way. 

Our website may also contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. When you go to other websites from here, we advise you to read their privacy policies. 

Social media guidelines
