More about Cookies and how they work
When you visit a website, it can send a Cookie to your web browser which then stores it on your computer or mobile device. When you return to that website, the Cookie is sent back to the web server, allowing the website to recognise that you have returned and remember your preferences.
Not all Cookies are the same – there are different types
Some cookies expire after a set time, while others can be stored for longer.
Essential cookies:
These are necessary for our website to function properly. Cookies tell the web server what pages to show you so you don’t have to remember where you left off or start navigating the site all over again!
Session or Transient Cookies:
These are stored only during your web browsing session and are automatically deleted from your computer when your web browser is closed. These Cookies can store a ‘session ID’ that is not personally identifiable to you, which enables, for example, to keep track of items that you have added to your shopping basket.
Session Cookies are never written to your hard drive, and they do not collect any information from your computer. They expire at the end of your browser session and can also become no longer accessible after your session has been inactive for a time.
Analytics cookies (optional):
These are the Optional Cookies our site uses.
They can, if you accept them, collect standard internet log information, anonymous statistics to help us improve our website and make it better for you to use – such as, the number of web visitors; how and from where visitors come to our site; the web browser and device used; the web pages visited and for how long, etc. These do not identify you or your personal data.
