Cookie Policy
The TUAS website uses cookies to improve user experience and analyse site performance. This policy explains what types of cookies are used and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on to your computer by the websites you visit. They help improve your experience and allow website-owners to analyse visits.
This is how cookies work: When you first visit a site that uses cookies, a simple text file is downloaded on to your computer, which is then read each time you return to that site. The file, or cookie, can be used to remember user names, passwords and preferences, for instance, or to personalise searches that you have conducted in the past. All of this information allows you a smoother experience on site. Cookies also help website-owners make improvements by collecting information such as the number and length of visits and pages viewed.
How can cookies be managed/blocked?

If you choose not to receive cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the website’s features and we may not be able to personalise your experience on site. Each internet browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to find out how to change your cookie preferences.
