What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. This allows the website to remember the pages you have visited and your preferences so that you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit the site. Cookies can be both ‘permanent’ and ‘temporary’ (session) cookies. A permanent cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and remain effective until its set expiry date (unless deleted earlier). A temporary cookie, on the other hand, will disappear at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.
Types of cookies
We use several cookies with different properties:

- Third Party Cookies come from a domain other than the website being visited. They are primarily used to track internet users and display targeted advertisements.
