Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your computer or electronic device (such as mobile/cell) when you access our website. Similar technologies include action tags, web beacons, local shared objects and single-pixel gifs.
The cookie allows our website to "remember" your preferences and actions over time, and store information about them. This may make your next visit to our website easier and the service more relevant to you.
Cookies set by us are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by external parties are called “third party cookies”. The third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website. This may include advertising, interactive content and website analytics. The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your device when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
We use session cookies as well as persistent cookies.
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used to remember you during your visit. They expire when you close your web browser.
Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and remain on your device even after you close your browser or restart your device.

Broadly, there are five types of cookie:
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to make a website operational and enable features that users have specifically asked for. Without use of these cookies, the features of the website can’t function.
Functionality cookies automatically remember choices that users have previously made to improve their experience next time they visit a website. For example, where users select their preferred settings and layout.
Performance cookies collect anonymous information about users for the purpose of assessing the performance of a website. Common applications that are relevant include Google Analytics.
Analytics cookies collect information about how users use a website, for instance which pages users go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.
Targeting or Advertising cookies are similar to performance cookies, in that they collect information about users’ behaviour. However, this information is then used at individual user level to advertise services to users based on the behavioural information collected.
