What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other device when you use sites. They are used to ‘remember’ when the same device returns to a site, to track activity via the device, or to identify a user as having come from another site. Some cookies are used just for the duration of your visit (“session cookies”) and others for an extended period (“persistent cookies”).

When you click “Accept all Cookies”, you consent to non-essential cookies unless you have disabled them using your browser settings.
