TABLE OF CONTENTS
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file (typically numbers and letters) that is downloaded onto ‘terminal equipment’ (e.g. your computer or smartphone) when you (or someone else) access a website using that device. Cookies are then sent back to originating website on each subsequent visit – and they are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
Please note that the cookie will not identify you personally – only the browser that is installed on your computer, tablet or mobile that you use for the visit.
How & Why do we use cookies?
Some cookies are needed for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, others may be necessary for the provision of a service over the internet, in which case they have to be used.
Other cookies may be desirable to improve your experience, in which case we will ask you for your consent to use them.
