Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies we use and why we use them. We update this policy when the cookies we use change, but the most recent version will always be available on our website.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you access a website. Cookies allow information gathered on one webpage to be stored until it is needed for use on another, allowing a website to provide you with a personalised experience (like remembering your favourites) and the website owner with statistics about how you interact with their (and sometimes third party) webpages.
Cookies are not harmful to your devices (like a virus or malicious code) but some individuals prefer not to share their information (for example, to avoid targeted advertising).
Different types of cookies
- Session vs. persistent cookies: cookies have a limited lifespan. Cookies which only last a short time or end when you close your browser are called session cookies. Cookies which remain on your device for longer are called persistent cookies (these are the type of cookies allow websites to remember your details when you log back onto them).
- First party vs third party cookies: cookies placed on your device by the website owner are called first party cookies. When the website owner uses other businesses’ technology to help them manage and monitor their website (for example, they use Google Analytics to see how many visitors their website has), the cookies added by the other business are called third party cookies.
- Necessary vs. performance vs. marketing cookies: cookies can be grouped by what they help the website or website owner do. Necessary cookies are cookies which help the website to run properly (when they are strictly necessary cookies it means their only function is to help the website work). Performance cookies help a website owner understand and analyse how website visitors use their website. Marketing cookies tailor online adverts to reflect the content you have previously browse and help inform companies about your interests so they can show you relevant adverts.
