Cookies that measure website use (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use our services and help us improve them. We do not allow Google to use or share this data.

The same Google Analytics cookies may be used on more than one service. We do this so that:

  • we can better understand tasks that involve more than one service
  • we reduce the number of times you are asked for cookie consent at different stages of the same task

We will only use these cookies on services provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and only if you give your consent. You can choose not to consent, and if you do you can change your mind at any time.
