What is a ‘Cookie’ and how long will it stay on my device?

A ‘cookie’ is a small text file created by a website that is stored on your device when you visit a website. A cookie contains information that is transferred to your device’s memory and provides a way for the website to recognise you by recalling the information the cookie placed on your computer. Cookies can be kept temporarily on your device (for example, for a single visit/session only, called a ‘session cookie’) or permanently on the hard disk (so-called ‘persistent cookies’, which will stay on your computer until they expire or are deleted). Cookies provide a way for the website to recognise you and keep track of your preferences.

We use necessary cookies to make our site work and we also set optional analytics cookies to help us improve it. We will not set optional cookies unless you enable them. Please note that we do not set marketing or social media cookies.
