What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit. They help the site work properly, remember your choices, and understand how visitors use it.

Some cookies are set by us and are known as first party cookies. Others are set by trusted third parties whose tools we use, such as Google, and are known as third party cookies. Some cookies last only for your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Others stay on your device for a set period so the site can recognise you when you return.
