1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are served through websites and stored on your computer/device via your browser. Cookies can make website pages load more efficiently, help personalise your experience as you navigate through a website, and remember your preferences when you visit the website again.  The types of cookies are:

• Session Cookies: These cookies contain an identifier (a randomly-generated string of letters and numbers) that a website server sends to a browser for temporary use during a limited timeframe.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies are stored on a computer/device via the browser to remember information such as website visitor preferences, settings and other information for future visits to that website. These cookies remain on the computer/device where they were stored until they expire (eg one year later) or are removed manually.
• First-party Cookies: These cookies are stored on your computer/device by the website you visit.
• Third-party Cookies: These cookies are stored on your computer/device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third-party service such as a social networking platform, an advertiser or an analytics system.
