Cookie Basics
What are cookies: A cookie is a small text file that is sent to or accessed from your web browser or your device’s memory. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, the lifetime of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other identifiers. Cookies may also contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our services.
Other tracking technologies: the other tracking technologies work similarly to cookies and place small data files on your devices or monitor your website actively to enable us to collect information about how you use our website. This allows our website to recognise your device from those of other users of the website.
Who places cookies: Cookies may either be placed directly by us (these are known as first-party cookies) or by our partners and service providers (these are known as third-party cookies).
How long do cookies last: Cookies may also either be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies only last until you close your browser, while persistent cookies continue working after you close your browser. The lifespan of a persistent cookie varies and will depend on the purpose for which the cookie is used.
Why are cookies used: Cookies may be used for a variety of purposes and they are typically classified according to their overall purpose. For example, we use the following general classifications within this Cookie policy: necessary cookies, analytics cookies, functionality cookies and advertisement cookies.
What are your rights: With the exception of necessary cookies, we do not place any cookies on your device unless you provide consent, and you are permitted to withdraw your consent at any time. The section ‘How to manage cookies’ below provides more information.
