Mae’r wefan hon yn defnyddio cwcis.
Rydym yn defnyddio cwcis i bersonoli cynnwys fel argymhellion swyddi, ac i ddadansoddi ein traffig. Rydych yn cydsynio i’n cwcis os ydych yn clicio "Rwy’n Derbyn". Os byddwch yn clicio ar "Nid wyf yn derbyn", yna ni fyddwn yn defnyddio cwcis ond efallai y bydd gennych brofiad defnyddiwr dirywio. Gallwch newid eich gosodiadau trwy glicio ar y cysylltiad Gosodiadau ar frig y ddyfais
Mae’r cwcis hyn yn angenrheidiol er mwyn i’r wefan weithredu ac ni ellir eu diffodd yn ein systemau. Fel arfer, dim ond mewn ymateb i gamau a wnaed gennych sy’n gyfystyr â chais am wasanaethau, megis gosod eich dewisiadau preifatrwydd, mewngofnodi neu lenwi ffurflenni. Gallwch osod eich porwr i’ch rhwystro neu eich rhybuddio am y cwcis hyn, ond ni fydd rhai rhannau o’r wefan yn gweithio wedyn.
Mae’r cwcis hyn yn ein galluogi i gyfrif ymweliadau a ffynonellau traffig fel y gallwn fesur a gwella perfformiad ein gwefan. Maen nhw’n ein helpu ni i wybod pa dudalennau sydd fwyaf a lleiaf poblogaidd a gweld sut mae ymwelwyr yn symud o gwmpas y wefan. Os na fyddwch yn caniatáu’r cwcis hyn, ni fyddwn yn gwybod pryd rydych wedi ymweld â’n gwefan, ac ni fyddwn yn gallu monitro ei berfformiad.
