What are cookies?
Cookies are small, often encrypted, text files, which are stored on your computer when you visit some websites. They remember useful information which allows aspects of the website to work. You can find out more about cookies from the website listed below. Cookies last for different lengths of time depending on what they are used for. Session cookies, for example, are temporary and are only stored until you leave the website or when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies last for a fixed period of time, defined within the cookie, and allow the website to recognise the device again when the user returns to that website on that device.
Who sets the cookie?
First party cookies are set by the website that you are visiting (in this case, us) and can only be read by that website. Third party cookies are set by an organisation other than owner of the website. These might be for measuring traffic or for allowing a visitor to watch a video from that third party.
