What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by us are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Site (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
How long do cookies last?
A number of cookies we use last only for the duration of your web session and expire when you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to the Site and will last for longer (persistent cookies). Although they do identify a user's computer, cookies cannot be used by a third party to personally identify users.
Why do we use cookies?
We use persistent and session cookies and other tracking technologies to: (a) analyse the usage of our Services; (b) customise the Services to your preferences; and (c) control the advertising displayed by the Services.
The types of cookies and examples of specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described in the table below
