2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data that's placed in the browser of your computer or device. We use cookies to support the functioning of our website. Each cookie performs a specific action; supporting website security or personalising content, for example.
Cookies can come from different sources; if the cookie comes from our website it is a “first-party cookie”, if we allow others, such as suppliers and business partners, to service cookies, these are “third-party cookies".
Cookies can also be classified as either “session cookies” or “permanent cookies”. Session cookies only exist until you close your browser, whereas permanent cookies have a longer lifespan and aren't automatically deleted when you close your browser.
We also use other tracking technologies which are similar to cookies. These can include web beacons (also known as pixel tags, web bugs, or gifs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs). We use a tag called a pixel which is a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be stored in your browser as part of a web page request, in an advertisement, in a marketing email or newsletter. Pixels can be used to retrieve info from your device, like your device type or operating system, IP address, and time of visit. We use these to see which content, in marketing emails or newsletters, is of interest to you. We may then use this information to send content which appears to be more relevant to you.
All these technologies together are referred to in this Cookie Statement as “cookies."
