In common with many other websites, the PSAA website sometimes stores small amounts of data on your computer when you visit our site to remember if you’ve been to the website before.
This is done by saving small data files known as “cookies” on your machine. Cookies are very important to help us make online services easier to use, to monitor the use of our site and to help improve the service to you.
Below is a list of our cookies and explanation of what cookies are and why and how they are used by PSAA. It also explains how you can manage cookies if you have concerns about their use.

List of cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies

Analytics cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to make improvements to the site.
Google Analytics stores information about:

- how long you spend on each PSAA website page
- how you got to the site
- what you click on while you’re visiting the site
We don’t collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information can’t be used to identify who you are. We don’t allow Google to use or share our analytics data.
