About Cookies
These days, most websites use cookies in order to improve your experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (this is called a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (this is called a ‘persistent cookie’).
Cookies are tiny weeny text files that get stored on your computer or mobile device by the website’s server. Each is unique to your web browser, containing anonymous information such as a unique identifier, the website name and some digits and numbers.

Cookies do lots of different jobs including letting you navigate effectively between pages, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience on a website. Cookies are intended to make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier.
If a website doesn’t use cookies or if you don’t allow them, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, you’d have to click accept our cookie policy on every page if you don’t allow them.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).
Avoiding Cookies
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit scary, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing.

If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website.
