What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to your computer or mobile phone from a website's computer (server) and enable that website to 'remember' you, either for the duration of your visit (using a 'session cookie') or for repeat visits (using a 'persistent cookie'). Persistent cookies are stored on your device's hard drive and activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Most websites you visit will use cookies or similar technologies (both included within the term 'cookies' in this notice) in order to improve your user experience, for example by remembering which items you have placed in your shopping basket. Cookies usually consist of letters and numbers and will not identify you directly but in some cases they could indirectly identify you if combined with other information.
The law currently states that we can send 'necessary' cookies to your device i.e. cookies which are essential to allow you to use the website, but that we must obtain your permission if we wish to use any other cookies.
