WCG uses Google Analytics to gather information which helps us improve web services for our visitors by collecting information on how our website is being used. The cookie is linked to WCG’s website domain(s) and date will only be used for statistical analysis relating to your browsing behaviour on our website, such as the number of visitors to our website, the number of pages viewed during a visit and the duration visitors spend on particular pages.
Collecting and analysing these metrics will aid us when making future enhancements to our website to provide you with a better service. Cookies used on our website will not store any personal or confidential information about you, and we will make no attempt to identify individual visitors using their IP address (unless we are obliged to do so by law or regulation).

The anonymous data collected is analysed only at an aggregate level in order to track overall visitor activity on our website and make improvements to it. We do not review the information at an individual level, and we do not use cookies to track visitors after leaving our website. That means that we can gauge how many visitors have accessed a particular page on our website, but we do not know who they are. If you do not wish for your activity on our website to be used in this way, you can either set your browser to disable cookies or to alert you when a website is attempting to add a cookie and decline when prompted. See ‘How to disable cookies’ below.
