This is a Government agency digital service. This Privacy Policy must be read in conjunction with the Terms of Use that accompany the applicable service you are requesting from us (the “Service”). In this Privacy Policy, “Public Sector Entities” means the Government (including its ministries, departments and organs of state) and public authorities (such as statutory boards).

Insofar as the Service consists of or is provided to you through a website, please note that:

2.1.

We may use "cookies", where a small data file is sent to your browser to store and track information about you when you enter our websites. The cookie is used to track information such as the number of users and their frequency of use, profiles of users and their preferred sites.
