What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or app. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, personalise content, and provide reporting information.

Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them) or “session” (expiring when you close your browser). There may also be “third-party” cookies which are placed by someone other than us (e.g. an advertiser or analytics provider) to gather data across various websites or sessions.
