Health Education England Learning Hub Cookies Policy
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone.
These include small files known as cookies. These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
- enabling a service to recognise your device, so you do not have to give the same information several times during one task
- recognising that you may already have given a username and password, so you do not need to do it for every web page requested
- measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there is enough capacity to ensure they are fast
- analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with services so we can make them better
