Types of cookies
The length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on its type. We use two types of cookies on our
website:
Session cookies are temporary cookies which only exist during the time you use the website (or more strictly,
until you close the browser after using the website). Session cookies help our website remember what you chose
on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information and improve your experience whilst using the
website.
Persistent cookies stay on your device after you’ve visited our website. For example, if you tick a ‘Remember my
ID’ box when you log on to a system, a persistent cookie will be used, so that the website remembers you the
next time you use it. Persistent cookies help us identify you as a unique visitor.
We also categorise our cookies to help our customers understand the specific reason for each cookie.
