What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device | your phone, tablet, or computer | when you visit. They help the site remember things about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you've been here before.
Some cookies are essential for a website to work properly. Others are used to help us understand how people use the site, so we can make it better. Where cookies are not strictly necessary, we are required by law to ask for your consent before placing them on your device.
