Cookies Policy
This section explains more about which cookies we use, why we use them and the functionality you will lose if you decide you don’t want to have them on your device.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other devices when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognised that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. We use this information to offer you a more personal browsing experience and to enhance your use of the website.
How long are cookies stored for?
Persistent cookies – these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies –these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. If you have ever placed items in your basket, had to leave a site and returned later to find the items still in your basket, this is an example of a cookie in action.
You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org, www.whatarecookies.com, and www.youronlinechoices.eu.
