The PSG website does not currently use persistent or stored cookies, but may do so in the future.

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. They make it possible for a website to identify registered users without needing to ask for registration details every time you access a website.

This information will be aggregated and, once that has taken place, it will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, ensure the appropriate use of information and protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures.
