3. What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your device (e.g. computer, smartphone, electronic device with an internet connection) when you visit a website. Cookies can be useful because they allow the website to recognise the user’s device and preferences and generally help to improve your experience of using the website.

4. What types of cookies do we use and how long are they stored?
We use four types of cookies: essential cookies, functional cookies, analytical cookies and advertising cookies. These cookies perform different functions, which are explained for each specific type of cookie below.
We use both first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are stored by the website you are visiting. Third party cookies are placed from a different domain to the website you are visiting.
Cookies used on our website can be divided into two basic types in terms of their processing time. Short-term so-called. “session cookies”, which are only temporary and remain stored in your browser only until you close your browser, and long-term cookies, called. “persistent cookies”, which remain stored on your device for longer, depending on the type of cookie, or until you manually delete them (the length of time cookies remain on your device depends on the setting of the cookie itself and the settings of your browser). An example would be a cookie that tracks whether you are a new or returning visitor to a website.
