What are cookies?

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies are used for many things, such as remembering whether you’ve visited the site before, so that you remain logged in, or to help us work out how many new website visitors we get each month.
Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date. A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.
Cookies typically contain information about a user such as their operating system and platform, IP address, browsing patterns and timings of browsing on the website and location.
By agreeing to our cookie policy, you agree that it will apply whenever you access the website on any device. Any changes to this policy will be posted here. We reserve the right to vary this cookie policy from time to time and such changes shall become effective as soon as they are posted. Your continued use of this website constitutes your agreement to all such changes.
