These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:  

• recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested  

• measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast

• analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with govt services so we can make them better
