Duration of cookies

The table below explains what cookies we use on our website, why we use them and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie e.g. functionality or analytical cookies. We also state in the table whether a cookie is a persistent or session cookie. The difference is that:

  • Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They remain active and store information about you after you have left the website. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a persistent cookie is used on a website to remember your log-in details and other information you might have entered when you purchased a product during a prior visit to the website, so that you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
  • Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
