What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent by a website to a web browser which contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive or other device. This enables the website to identify and track the web browser. They usually identify the computer used rather than the individual user, but some cookies may contain personal information. Cookies can, among other functions, enable a website to recognise a device each time it visits, remember user preferences and recommend relevant content. You can read more about cookies here: https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
We use cookies to provide you with a more personalised experience and to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a better user experience when browsing and allows us to improve our site.
