  1. What are cookies?

1.1 A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your internet-enabled devices e.g. your computer, smartphone or tablet – like a memory for a web page when you visit a website for record-keeping purposes. Cookies are stored in your browser’s file directory, and the next time you visit the website, your browser will read the cookies and relay the information back to the website or element that originally set the cookies. Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains so when you visit the website, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.

1.2 Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, remember preferences and other information and generally improve the user experience. They can also be used to tailor advertising to your interests through tracking your browsing across websites.

1.3 Session cookies are used to make the websites easier for you to use, and to enable you to navigate from page to page within each website more easily. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period of time specified in the cookies after the browser is closed (for example to remember your user preferences when you return to the website).
