What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences. Where cookie technology is not available, an anonymous identifier may be used for the same purposes. An anonymous identifier is a random string of characters.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by other organisations, for example providers of analytics or ticketing services, are called “third-party cookies”.
Cookies may be “session cookies”, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent cookies”, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
