1.3 WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small file that is stored on your device (in the browser, e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.) when you visit a website. Cookies typically contain information that is used by that website – and possibly others – to keep track of your activity on the site. For example, a cookie could be used to enable a site to remember and display your logon ID the next time you visit it (so you don’t have to type it in again); or a cookie could be used to track your browsing preferences across different sites in order to target specific adverts towards you.
There are different kinds of cookies for different purposes. To understand this policy, you should be aware of the following.
• First-party cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting. First-party cookies typically contain information about your preferences or interaction with that website.

• Session cookies: These are cookies that are stored on your device but deleted when you end your browsing session (i.e. when you close your browser window).
