1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can recognize you when you visit and remember certain information about you. This can include which pages you have visited, choices you have made from menus, any specific information you have entered into forms, and the time and date of your visit.

2. Types of Cookies

There are two main types of cookies:

• Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session; that is, when you leave the website. Session cookies allow the website to recognize you as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website most efficiently. For example, session cookies enable a website to remember that a user has placed items in an online shopping basket.
• Persistent cookies: in contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your equipment between browsing sessions until expiry or deletion. They therefore enable the website to “recognize” you on your return, remember your preferences, and tailor services to you.

In addition to session cookies and persistent cookies, there may be other cookies that are set by the website which you have chosen to visit, such as this Website, in order to provide us or third parties with information.

3. Our Use of Cookies

We use session cookies to help us maintain security and verify your details while you use the Website and as you navigate from page to page, which enables you to avoid having to re-enter your details each time you enter a new page.
We use persistent cookies to:

• Help us recognize you as a unique user when you return to the Website so that you do not have to input your details multiple times as you move between pages or services.
