Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Often it is useful for a website to remember certain details about your visit, like settings you have changed. Most websites also collect anonymous usage data in order to improve their visitors’ experience.

A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers that is sent by the site you visit and stored on your computer so that the site can retrieve it the next time you visit. Because your computer does not share any personally identifiable data with a website, browsers use cookies to remember users’ preferences in a regulated secure way. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our website, which helps us to make the browsing of our website as smooth as possible and also allows us to improve our site.

Cookies are designed in such a way as to keep your data and computer secure, as:

• They can only store a small amount of text.
• All cookies have an expiry date.
• They can only be read by the author that set them (though some websites allow third parties to set cookies on their sites).
• You can choose whether or not to receive cookies.
• You can delete them from your browser.

The cookies we use are “analytical” cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. They are set by us and no other website has access to the data.

DSB seeks to maintain compliance with the Information Commissioner’s Office Guidelines in force from 25th May 2018 (and any update of those Guidelines).

If you continue browsing this site, we will assume you are content with our use of cookies, but if you would rather opt out, please refer to the options for accepting rejecting and detecting cookies provided by your browser.

If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that DSB does not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
