COOKIE NOTICE
About Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites or apps that you visit. They are often used to make sites that you visit work more efficiently.
A cookie may contain an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser when you visit a website or app. Sometimes this identifier may be sent back to the server each time a new page is requested. This information helps the website owners understand visitor behaviour.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date. A session cookie will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
