Cookie Information

 

What are Cookies ?


A cookie is a small piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which in turn may store the cookie on your hard drive. Cookies can help website owners identify you as an Internet user and make visiting a website easier for you by saving your preferences while you visit the site. Cookies are designed to be read only by the website that provides them. They cannot be used to obtain data from a user's hard drive, get a user's email address or gather a user's sensitive information.


What types of cookies are there ?


There are four main types of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and targeting or advertising cookies.


  • Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the running of a website. Without the use of these cookies, you may not be able to use some of the features of websites.
  • Performance cookies monitor website performance and collect anonymous data on how visitors use a website. These cookies provide information to help improve how a website works.
  • Functionality cookies are used to remember user preferences so that the website can be customised for them.
  • Targeting or advertising cookies are used to target advertisements to the interests of users, based upon previous web browsing activity.


Additionally, these cookies can be broken down into two further sub-types.


  • Session cookies are temporary, allowing the website 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. All session cookies expire and are deleted when the session finishes.
  • Persistent cookies remain on a user's device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. These can last after you have closed your browser and allow a website to remember your actions and preferences.


Why do we use cookies?

These cookies are used for session management purposes that last only for the duration of your visit and expire when you close your browser. We will not store sensitive information in cookies or gather information about you for the purposes of marketing.
