What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent by a website and stored by your browser. This allows the website to identify your device the next time you visit and to record any preferences you may have. They also help with navigation and account security.

Some cookies are "persistent" so a site can avoid asking the same questions each visit (e.g. your cookie preferences). You can manually remove these using your browsers settings.

Others are "session" cookies where a site records information, such as your login authorisation or messages, used for your current visit and are deleted when you close your browser.

If we set the cookie it is "First Party", otherwise it is "Third Party" (e.g. a company assisting us with analytics may need to use cookies).
