Cookie policy

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when the web browser is closed. These cookies allow users to be recognized when browsing a website. This means that any page changes or item selection is remembered from page-to-page. Most commonly these are used by e-commerce sites to store items placed in your shopping basket. Without them the checkout page would not remember any past activity on previous pages, and your shopping basket would remain empty.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies are what allow websites to “remember” you when you visit them. This results in faster and more convenient access – often you won’t need to log-in again, or input your preferred settings.

Persistent cookies are designed to store data for an extended amount of time. Each cookie is created with an expiry date – which could be anything from a few days to a few years. When the expiry date is reached the cookie is automatically deleted. This means the website will no longer remember you or your preferred settings.
