What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work more efficiently as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. We use two types of cookies on our websites.

  • Session Cookies: These are only used for the period you use the website, and are deleted when you close your web browser. A new cookie would then be placed in your web browser if you were to visit the same website again in the future.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain in your browser once you have left the site and closed your web browser. The next time you visit the site the information in the cookie will be used to ensure the website works as set up at the previous visit, for example to display certain things on the homepage. Persistent cookies will expire if the website that set them is not visited again within a certain time.
