Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to a user’s computer or
mobile device when a browser is used to visit a website. Some cookies (known as
sessional cookies) are created temporarily and are deleted when a user leaves a
particular website. Other cookies (known as persistent cookies) allow the
user’s device to be recognised by the originating website on subsequent visits
to that website.
Cookies are used to perform many different roles. For example they can be
used to enable users to navigate between pages efficiently, remember their
preferences, and manage log-ins and can be used to generally improve the user
experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts displayed online are more
relevant to users and their interests.
As cookies themselves include very little information they cannot be used by
themselves to identify users by name and cannot usually be used to reveal personal
data.
