1. What is a Cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a certain web address. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web address on each subsequent visit, or to another web address that recognises that Cookie. Cookies are widely used in order to make the Services work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the Services operations teams.
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have used a Service before or whether you are a new user.
There are two broad categories of Cookies:
- First party cookies, served directly by us to your device.
- Third party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf.

These are deleted automatically once you close your browser or application. Other Cookies are 'permanent cookies', meaning that they survive after your browser or application is closed. They can be used by a Service to recognise your device when you open and use that Service again.
