1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They allow a website to recognise your browser, remember choices you have made, and keep parts of the site working correctly. Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — do much the same thing, and this notice covers them too.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"). Others remain for a set period ("persistent cookies") so that a preference is remembered on your next visit.
