What are cookies?

“Cookies” make websites work better and allow websites to remember previous actions or settings. They are small text files stored on your computer’s hard drive by the browser and may contain information about you or your computer. Cookies are NOT viruses.

Cookies do a lot of different jobs such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and saving you time because you won’t have to keep re-entering your details each time you visit.

We use cookies to help us to analyse how you and our other customers use our sites so that we can make improvements. They can also help to ensure that the adverts you see online are more relevant to you.

Cookies are split into “First-Party” (those set by our website directly) and “Third-Party”* (those set by partners of our website for example through a live chat function available on some of our sites) and are classed as either ‘session cookies’ (only set for that session) or ‘persistent cookies’ (which are stored on your browser between sessions and recognise you on your return).

It is important to note that you can disable cookies completely, or just some types of cookies. You can do this in your web browser at any time.
