1. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that some websites or web applications store via the browser on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites or web applications work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website or web application. Some expire at the end of your session; others will remain on your computer for longer. When you return to websites or visit websites that use the same cookies, these cookies and therefore your browsing device, are recognised. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. Cookies can be used to customise areas of online content to be more relevant to you and your interests.

2. First Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies set by the specific website or web application you visit i.e. the location displayed in the URL window.

3. Third Party Cookies

Third party cookies are set by third party services that appear on my pages. They are set by the operators of that service and are not in my control.

C. Functionality & Profile Cookies: These cookies allow a website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and tailor the website to provide enhanced features and content for you.
