Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small packet of data, which is stored in the user's browser, as requested by a website. The data file can be retrieved next time the user returns, thus allowing the site to identify the user as the same person. This is useful when you need to remember the status of your previous activity when navigating separate pages. Examples of this are when logging in, saving items in a shopping basket, or simply saving a personal preference.


Types of cookie

There are three main types of cookie:-

  • Persistent Cookie – These last indefinitely and will only be removed from the user's computer when either they are deleted by the user or when they expire as set by the website. This allows a website to detect return visits.
  • Third Party Cookies – first party cookies are cookies that are created on the same domain as the one you are visiting. Third party cookies, on the other hand, are set by a different website (such as an embedded advertisement). Most web browsers allow you to block these types of cookie.
