What cookies do websites use?

Essential & Functional Cookies - Without these cookies certain functions on some websites would not work, such as login, registration and password areas.

Analytics Cookies - These cookies monitor how visitors use a website. This helps to improve the customer flow and provide additional resources for popular pages. This analytics information is anonymous, we can only see what you visited, not who you are.

Third Party Cookies - A third-party cookie is one that is placed on a user’s hard disk by a Web site from a domain other than the one a user is visiting. As with standard cookies, third-party cookies are placed so that a site can remember something about you at a later time. Both are typically used to store surfing and personalization preferences and tracking information. Third-party cookies, however, are often set by advertising networks that a site may subscribe to in the hopes of driving up sales or page hits.

I don't like cookies and want to turn them off! This can be done in your individual web browser, but like we have mentioned, certain functions on some websites will not work correctly. If you have any further queries on the use of cookies then visit www.ico.org.uk
