How We Use Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web user, and that information is then stored on the web user’s web browser. The information is thereafter sent back to the server each time the web user requests a page from the specific server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web user.
We may use both ‘session’ cookies and ‘persistent’ cookies on the website. We will use session cookies to keep track of you while you navigate the website and to improve your experience while browsing it. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. We will use persistent cookies to enable our website to recognise you when you visit; e.g. to remember your login email (if it has been saved) or your favourite landing pages. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until they are deleted or until they reach a specified expiry date. Web users can also remove cookies by clearing their web browsing history.
