Cookies
Cookies are parcels of text sent by a web server to a web client (usually a browser) and stored on your computer by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser session.
Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device, thereby improving the overall experience on our website.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date. A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
