What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data files which are stored on your device when you visit a website; they either enable or enhance the functionality of that website by recognising the device you are using at the time. For the purposes of this Policy, “cookie” will be used to describe the various forms of cookie technology, including but not limited to: pixel tags, mobile device identifiers and web storage files used in both mobile devices and desktop software.

Cookies are useful to you as they recall your navigation preferences, such as language and sign-in information and tailor online advertisements in-line with your interests.

There are several kinds of cookies, e.g. “session cookies” which expire when you close your web browser and “persistent cookies” which stay on your device for a predetermined period of time, or until deleted. Cookies also can be categorised on the basis of their purpose, e.g.:

• “Essential Cookies” – these are necessary for us to provide you with the use of our Site and Services in accordance with your instructions and your type of membership. As indicated by their name, these cookies are essential and neither the Site nor the Service will function properly without them;

• “Targeting or Advertising Cookies” – these tailor in browser advertisements based on your interests and determine how many times you see a particular advertisement. In addition, advertising networks use these cookies to track analytics (e.g. efficiency and relevance) of advertisements to users and are generally linked to aspects of site functionality which are provided by other organisations.
