What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser on subsequent visits, remember choices you have made, and gather information about how the site is being used.

Cookies do not give us access to your device or any information beyond what you share with us. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can choose to modify these settings at any time. Disabling some types of cookie may affect how certain parts of the website function.

Cookie Duration

Cookies fall into two duration categories:

Session cookies

Exist only for the duration of your current browser session and are deleted automatically when you close the browser. Used for basic site functionality.

Persistent cookies
