What are ‘Cookies’?
Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. Your web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome) then sends these cookies back to the website on each subsequent visit so that they can recognise you and remember things like personalised details or user preferences.
Cookies are very useful and do lots of different jobs, helping to make your experience on our website as enjoyable and useful as possible. They remember your preferences and generally improve your experience.
There are two different types of cookie:
Session Cookies: These only last for your online session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies: These stay on your computer or device after the browser has been closed and last for the period of time specified in the cookie. These persistent cookies are activated each time you visit the site where the cookie was generated.

You should check the third party websites for more information about these cookies.
Across our websites and mobile site, you will also see embedded ‘share’ buttons. These enable you to easily share content with friends through a number of popular social networks.
