Understanding first & third-party cookies

First party cookies

First-party cookies are cookies that are set by the website that the user is visiting. These cookies are typically used to keep track of the user’s login session and store preferences and track usage across different pages on the website.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are cookies that are created by organisations outside of the website you’ve visited. They are often used for advertising or tracking purposes.

How we use cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work without them. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies are designed to help website owners understand how their website is being used. They allow website owners to see which pages and features are being used the most, and which ones are not being used at all. This information can help website owners improve their website’s performance.

Advertising cookies

Advertising cookies are used to track users’ browsing activity in order to display targeted advertisements. This information is usually shared with third-party companies, who use it to create targeted ads.

Advertising cookies can be used to track a user’s browsing history and interests, which can then be used to display relevant advertisements on other websites.
