A cookie is a small piece of data that a website can send to your computer or mobile device on your first visit. It enables the website (or our technical suppliers’ websites) to recognise your device when you return. The pages of the website can then be downloaded more quickly to your device.
A cookie can also be used to collect and analyse information about how visitors use a website, (e.g. most popular pages, user preferences) and how the site is performing.
Some cookies will hold personal information, such as your preferences for receiving emails from Rouse, but generally the information is more general and will not identify you.
The Information Commissioner’s website has more information about cookies, as does http://www.allaboutcookies.org/

We use performance cookies such as Google Analytics to collect information about how users use our website, (including information about where they come from and how often they visit,) and how the website performs. We use this information to improve our service to you, e.g. by increasing the prominence of popular pages.
