We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the Website, or which may be used by third parties through our websites.

What is a cookie?         

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

How long are cookies stored for?

Session cookies – these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session.
