Cookies – What are they?

A “cookie” is a small text file that’s stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website or use an app. They contain specific information relating to your use of our web site or app, such as login credentials, your preference settings or tracking identifiers.

Types of cookies

The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. There are two types of cookies:

• Session cookies are temporary cookies which only exist during the time you use the website (or more strictly, until you close the browser after using the website). Session cookies help our website remember what you chose on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information and improve your experience whilst using the website.
• Persistent cookies are cookies (such as tracking cookies or authentication cookies) that remain on your device until they expire, or you delete them from your browser. These are known as persistent cookies and enable us to remember things about you as a returning visitor.
