OUR WEBSITE USES COOKIES
We will ask you to consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy when you first visit our Website.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are small text files they are stored by your browser onto your computer or mobile device. They are widely used in order to make websites work or work in a better, more efficient way. They can do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient (eg by remembering your user preferences).
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be used by web servers to identify and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and identify users returning to a website.
We work with other third party organisations to provide the services on our Website. A third party is an organisation which is not hosted at the domain address in your browser when you visit our Website. These third parties may also use cookies on our Website and can also place cookies on your device without you visiting their website directly.
The two types of cookies we use are known as “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. These may be cookies which we use and/or a third party uses.
Session cookie: A session cookie is used each time you visit our Website to give you a session ID. We use this type of cookie to link your actions on our Website and each session cookie will only last for a browser session, at the end of which it will expire. Each browser session will start when you open your browser window and finish when you close your browser window. After your visit to our Website all session cookies are deleted. Each time you visit our Website you will have a different session ID.
Persistent cookie: A persistent cookie allows your preferences or actions across a site (or across different sites) to be remembered. It has a longer lifetime than a session cookie and lasts for the period of time specified in the cookie (this will vary from cookie to cookie). This type of cookie will not be deleted when you close your browser window and will be stored on your device. It will be activated every time you visit a website which created that particular persistent cookie.
WHICH COOKIES DO WE USE AND FOR WHAT PURPOSES?
Our Website uses various types of first party cookies (organised and managed by us), and third party cookies (organised and managed by third parties based on their own individual privacy policies and not under our control) and similar technologies, each of which has a specific function.
