What are Cookies?

A “Cookie” is usually a small text file that contains a unique identifier, made up of letters and numbers.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the ‘Opting Out links provided for each cookies listed below.

How do Cookies work?

Cookies are created when you use your browser to visit another website. The identifier which forms part of the Cookie is sent from a web server to a web browser and is then stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This is in turn stored on your device when you visit a website on your computer or an app on your phone.

A Cookie can be a ‘Session Cookie’ or a ‘Persistent Cookie’.

  • A Session Cookie will expire when the user session is terminated and the web browser closed.
  • A Persistent Cookie, however, will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date.
