Cookies Overview
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile. You can think of Cookies as providing a ‘memory’ for the website. They allow websites and apps to store things like user preferences, enabling you to navigate more efficiently between webpages, login information and generally improving your online experience.
We may also use tracking beacons (also known as “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies on our Site to enable us to know whether you have visited a web page or received a message.
Local storage is often used as an alternative to a cookie on devices (such as smartphones or connected TVs) which use you use to access and connect to our Sites.

Advertising Cookies
These Cookies allow us to know whether or not you’ve seen an advert or a type of advert, and how long it is since you’ve seen it, if used at all.
A lot of the advertisements you may see on our Site are provided by other organisations. Some of these organisations use their own anonymous cookies to track how many people have seen a particular ad, or to track how many people have seen it more than once.
The companies that generate these Cookies have their own privacy policies, and we have no access to read or write these Cookies.

On some pages of our Site, other organisations may also set their own anonymous cookies. They do this to track the success of their application, or to customise the application for you. Because of how Cookies work, our Sites cannot access these Cookies, nor can the other organisation access the data in Cookies we use on our Site.
