What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you visit any web pages that use cookies. A cookie contains information that allows websites to recognise your computer and perform a variety of functions such as recording which pages of the website you visit or saving your preferences that allow you to personalise your viewing experience. Cookies are recorded via your web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox or Safari) and are not visible on the website itself.
Cookies can be either ‘first party’, which means they are used by an organisation on its own website or ‘third party’ which is when they are used by an organisation on another organisation’s website. Some cookies are ‘session’ cookies that are deleted from your computer as soon as you close your web browser. ‘Persistent’ cookies do not self-delete until a specific period of time has elapsed. Further below we provide information on the cookies we use and highlight which are first and third-party.
