• we are under a duty to protect public funds.

We may use the information you have provided for the prevention and detection of fraud. We may also share this information with other bodies responsible for public funds or for auditing them for these purposes.

You have the right to request a copy of all the personal information that we hold about you, and to have inaccuracies corrected.

We want to provide online services that are easy to use, useful and reliable. This can involve placing cookies on your computer or other device. Cookies cannot be used to identify you personally.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:

• enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task
• recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don't 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's enough capacity to ensure they are fast
