Session cookies/essential cookies

A session cookie is stored in temporary memory and remains available for the duration of your active ‘session’ within the website only. All session cookies are deleted when you leave the site. This type of cookie can allow a website to keep track of your movement from page to page during an active session.  This helps ensure that a web page does not ask for the same information many times. Session cookies/Essential cookies do not collect information about the user, but typically store data in the form of a unique identifier that does not personally identify you.

Persistent cookies/non-essential cookies

On your first visit, the website is presented in default mode. During your visit, you select your preferences and these preferences are remembered, through the use of the persistent cookie, the next time you visit the site.

Web Analytics
