Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites.
They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer.
This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website to the next.
Types of Cookies We Use
We utilise both session cookies and persistent cookies on our website.
Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
These different types serve various functions, from maintaining your login status to remembering your site preferences.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website.
They enable you to navigate around the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas.
Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
Analytical and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.
These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
It is only used to improve how a website works.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features.
For example, they may be used to remember your preferred language or region.
The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
