Cookie Policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a packet of information that your internet connected devices’ web browser exchanges with a webpage.

It helps keep track of visits and activity to a web page and provide tailored content to you. An example is where many online retailers use cookies to keep track of the items in a user’s shopping cart as they move around the site. Without cookies, the shopping cart would reset every time a link on the site was clicked.

They may also keep a record of the most recent visit or record your login information. Many people find this useful so that they can store passwords on frequently used sites, or simply so they know what they have visited or downloaded in the past.

Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. There are two types;

  • Session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website

  • Persistent cookies which may be used to create long-term records of multiple visits to the same site. Authentication cookies track whether a user is logged in, and if so, under what name.

We may also use web beacons or spotlight tags. These are transparent image files used to understand how users interact with the pages and content on the pages of our web site. We do not use web beacons to collect information about specific users.

We may work with third parties to research certain usage and activities on our website on our behalf. No personal information about you is shared except to the extent it is required to be used by a third party or parties for providing such research, and in the course of conducting this research we, and/or these third parties may place a unique "cookie" on your browser.
