PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE:
This site uses cookies to store information on your computer. The details outlined below explains how we use cookies and by using this website, you agree to the use of cookies on your computer in accordance with the terms of this policy.
If you do not wish to accept the use of cookies from this website please disable them using the tools in your browser.
1. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a piece of information that a website transfers to files of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember certain information about you each time you visit a website. This can include which pages you have visited, menu choices made, information you have entered into a form and when you visited the site.
2. The Main Types of Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session, i.e., when you leave the site. These allow the website to recognise you as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website most efficiently. For example, session cookies enable a website to remember that a user has placed items in an online shopping basket.
In contrast to session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your devices between browsing sessions until they expire or are deleted. They enable the website to remember you on your return, remember your preferences and tailor the website experience to you.
