What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files saved in your browser to remember you, your behaviour and your settings when you return to the website. We also use cookies to target marketing, including offers and news, based on your web browser behaviour.
Overall, there are two different types of cookies, persistent and temporary (session cookies). Persistent cookies are saved as a file on your computer or another device for a period as stipulated in the overview of cookies (see below), whereas session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Below, you can read more about cookies used for various purposes, the different types of cookies, and how we use cookies on our website.
