- What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on a user’s device (computer, tablet, or mobile device) when the user visits a website. Cookies enable the website to recognise the device on subsequent visits and to store certain information about the user’s browsing session or preferences.
Cookies may be set by the website being visited (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies). Cookies may be session-based, meaning they expire when the browser is closed, or persistent, meaning they remain on the device for a defined period after the browsing session ends.
In addition to cookies, similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage objects may be used. References to cookies in this policy include these related technologies unless explicitly stated otherwise.
