We use a system of classifying the different types of cookies which we use on the
Website, or which may be used by third parties through our websites. The classification
was developed by the International Chamber of Commerce UK and explains more about
which cookies we use, why we use them, and the functionality you will lose if you
decide you don't want to have them on your device.What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded
to your personal computer, mobile or other device when you visit a website. Cookies
are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another
website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website
to recognise a user's device.
How long are cookies stored for?
Persistent
cookies - these cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified
in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that
created that particular cookie.
Session cookies - these cookies allow website
operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session
starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser
window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting
you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally
improve the user experience.
