How do Cookies work?

Cookies are created when you use your browser to visit another website. The identifier which forms part of the Cookie is sent from a web server to a web browser and is then stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This is in turn stored on your device when you visit a website on your computer or an app on your phone.

A Cookie can be a ‘Session Cookie’ or a ‘Persistent Cookie’.

• A Session Cookie will expire when the user session is terminated and the web browser closed.

• A Persistent Cookie, however, 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.

Cookies are used to collect visitor behaviour information as well as tracking your movements within the site or web page. Cookies can help you to resume where you left off, remember your registered login details, and content preferences as well as other customisation functions. They do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user. 

At a basic level, Cookies will: 

• Allow the site to work properly, and help keep it secure

• Help us understand how people use the website

• Make the site easier to use by remembering information that you’ve entered,

• Improve your experience by showing you information that’s relevant to you.
