What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our website. There are two distinct types of cookies, session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie allows a website to link your actions during a particular browser session. They expire each time you close your browser and do not remain on your device afterwards. A persistent cookie is stored on your device in between browser sessions and allows your preferences or actions across websites to be remembered. They will remain on your device for a pre-defined period of time or until they are deleted. Other technologies including web beacons or local storage also store and retrieve data on a device and are similar to cookies. Throughout this cookies policy, whenever we refer to ‘cookies’ we are referring to cookies and other tracking technologies.
We use cookies on our website as they help to distinguish you from other users.
