TYPES OF COOKIES

There are two main types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies and persistent cookies can then either be first or third party cookies. Each of these has a definition below.

Session cookies: this type of cookie is used to track and link the activity of the user during a single browser session. (For example, to recall the items returned from a search). Session cookies are temporary – when you exit your browser and end your session, all session cookies expire and all records are deleted.

Persistent cookies: this type of cookie is used to track the user of a specific device, in order to authenticate you and to keep track of your preferences. This data enables us to optimise our website experience. Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device between different browser sessions.

First and third party cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies are either first or third party depending on which domain placed the cookie. Cookies issued by our site are first party, and cookies set by other sites are third party.

In order to enhance and optimise your website experience and ensure the best delivery of our services, we use a combination of all these types of cookies. On our website some of the cookies we use are Essential/Strictly Necessary cookies, Analytical/Performance cookies, Advertising/Targeting cookies and Functionality cookies. All of these are described in the resources listed below.

HOW CAN I MANAGE COOKIES OR FIND OUT MORE?

If you have disabled cookies in your browser, our site (or parts of it) may not function properly, you may encounter technical problems or have problems with access.
