About Cookies
A cookie is a small text file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that a web server sends to a web browser and stores on your device. The browser sends the identifier back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies can either be persistent or session:
• Persistent cookies are stored by the browser and remain valid until their expiry date unless deleted by the user before that date.
• Session cookies expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.
Cookies typically do not contain personal information, but any personal data we store about you may be linked to the information stored in cookies. Cookies help web servers track users as they navigate a website and identify users returning to the website.
