What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small files that allow a website to recognise and track users. There are three types of Cookies related to Privacy Issues and as identified by the ICO:

Session Cookies: These are files that allow a site to link the actions of a visitor during a single browser session – most typically those used in internet banking or webmail services. These cookies are not stored long term and are considered “less privacy intrusive” than persistent cookies.

Persistent Cookies: These are files that remain on the user’s device (be that laptop, mobile, gaming device etc.) between browser sessions and allow one or several sites to remember details about you, and are most commonly used by online shops to target advertising and greetings towards you, or to avoid you having to provide a password each website visit.

First and Third-party Cookies: A first-party cookie is one set by this website. A third-party cookie is one issued by a different server to this website and could be triggered by a hyperlink to that site or a banner advert within this site.

Use of first party Cookies in this website for the purpose of Analytics: This website uses Google Analytics for the purposes of improving the site’s performance and content for everyone. Specifically, Google Analytics is completely anonymous and simply allows us to evaluate, for example:

  • What are the most popular pages on my site?
  • What pages don’t visitors appear to like?
  • What browsers are my visitors using?
  • What days or times bring the most visits?

Google Analytics currently sets 4 cookies with the following lifespans – a session cookie, a 24hr cookie, a 6mth cookie and a 2 year cookie.

This information is not shared with anyone – for the purpose of maintaining the site’s accessibility and performance, and of assessing and enhancing page content and website usability for their customers’ benefit.
