Cookie Policy
We use cookies to deliver functionality, monitor and improve the quality of our site and service.
What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
What types of Cookies do we use?
We use both persistent and session cookies across the following broad types:
- Strictly Necessary
- Functionality
- Performance
- Targeting
What is the difference between persistent and session cookies?
Cookies may be either “persistent” or “session”. A persistent cookie will remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
What is a strictly necessary cookie?
A required, or strictly necessary, cookie contains information required to use the site, this is usually a session cookie. When your browser requests a new page as you navigate our site, important information on your previous actions would be lost without this functionality. While cookies can be selectively blocked by yourself our site will not function without these cookies enabled. An example of this would be a product added to your basket being still there when you visit the checkout page.
What is a functionality cookie?
A functionality cookie contains identifiers for your preferences, this is usually a persistent cookie. It enables our website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. An example of this would be a cookie to ‘remember’ your prefered language.
What is a performance cookie?
A performance cookie contains an anonymous identifier (a string of letters and numbers), this is usually a persistent cookie. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This allows us to collect statistical information on how the site is used so we can improve the site and tailor accordingly. An example of this would be a cookie to let us know if this was your first visit to the site.
What is a targeting cookie?
A third party cookie or targeting cookie is provided by external companies and populated by communication with their services. This is commonly used for advertising and marketing purposes and examples may be from Google and Facebook. Please refer to the appropriate third party for information on their cookie policy. This is usually a persistent cookie.
