1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. They are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.
Cookies serve many functions, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that content you see online is more relevant to you and your interests. Most cookies collect general information, such as how users arrive at and use a website, or a user’s general location. Users can set their browsers to decline them, or they can delete them at will.

There are mainly four kinds of cookies:

• Session cookies: They last only for the active session and are erased when the user closes the web browser.
• Persistent cookies: They remain even after the session is closed and are stored on a user’s hard drive until their expiration dates or until the user deletes the cookie.
• First-party cookies: They belong to the website where the user choses to go.
• Third-party cookies: They are fetched from a website whose content is retrieved indirectly, for example through an image tag or a banner.

3. Does anyone else use cookies on our website?
We may use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the categories above.
For example, we may use third-party analytics cookies to help us monitor our website traffic. We may also use third-party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms of use and copyright policy.

4. How to control and delete cookies through the browser?
The ability to enable, disable or delete cookies can be completed at browser level. In order to do this, you should follow the instructions provided by your browser, usually located within the ‘Help’, ‘Tools’, ‘Options’, ‘Preferences’ or ‘Edit’ section on its menu bar. Disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser, you therefore need to do this yourself from within your browser.
