What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit a website. Cookies are used by many websites and can do a number of things, such as remembering your preferences, recording what you have put in your shopping basket, and counting the number of people looking at a website.
First-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site.
Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are set by a different organisation to the owner of the website you are visiting. For example, the website might use a third-party analytics company who will set their own cookie to perform this service. The website you are visiting may also contain content embedded from, for example, YouTube, and these sites may set their own cookies.
More significantly, a website might use a third-party advertising network to deliver targeted advertising on their website. These may also have the capability to track your browsing across different sites.
Session cookies
Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies
This type of cookie is saved on your computer for a fixed period (usually a year or longer) and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, we use this type of cookie to store your preferences, so that they are remembered for the next visit.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time. Alternatively, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org

Below you will find a summary of the Cookie Policy in basic English
Cookies are small files that websites use to remember information about you. They can remember things like your preferences and what you put in your shopping cart. There are different types of cookies:
First-party cookies: These are set by the website you're on, and can only be read by that website.
Third-party cookies: These are set by a different organization than the website you're on. For example, an analytics company might use them to gather data. Websites can also have content from other sites (like YouTube) that set their own cookies.
Cookies can also be categorized by how long they stay on your device:
Session cookies: These are temporary and get deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: These stay on your computer for a longer time (usually a year or more) and aren't deleted when you close your browser. They're used for things like remembering your preferences.
You can control your cookies. Most web browsers let you do things like delete them, block them, or allow all of them. You can also set your browser to block third-party cookies, clear all cookies when you close it, or use a private browsing mode.
We use both first-party and third-party cookies to make our website work better and understand who visits our site and what devices they use. This helps us improve our services and make the site better for visitors.
