1. What are cookies?

Cookies are commonly used on websites and are small text files which are sent to your device (computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet) by the website you visit. Cookies are stored on your device's hard drive in your browser’s file directory. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website each time you revisit it so it can recognise your device, remember your preferences, enables you to login and access functionality and improve your overall user experience. Simply put, cookies provide a way for the website to recognize you and keep track of your preferences. Please note that certain functions of our website may no longer work or may work incorrectly without cookies. We don't use cookies to track people's Internet usage after leaving our sites and we don't store personal information in them that others could read and understand.

Depending on their function and their intended purpose, cookies can be assigned to the following categories: transient cookies or persistent cookies. In addition to this, cookies can be either first- or third-party.

  1. Transient (or per-session) cookies
    These only exist for the duration of your site visit and are deleted by the browser on exit/shutdown. They recognise you as you move between pages, for example recording theme settings (i.e. dark mode). These cookies also help maintain security.
  2. Persistent (or permanent) cookies
    These stay on your machine until they expire or are deleted. Many are built with automatic deletion dates to help ensure your hard drive doesn't get overloaded.
  3. First-party cookies
    First-party cookies are owned and created by the website you're viewing.
  4. Third-party cookies
    Third-party cookies are owned and created by an independent company, usually a company providing a service to the owners of the website.
