You understand that, during visits to the Site, cookies may be placed on your terminal equipment.
A cookie is a small file, usually consisting of letters and numbers, which is stored on an internet user's terminal equipment. It is used by the site to send information to the user's browser and allows the browser to send information back to the source site (e.g. session identifier, choice of language or date).
Cookies enable status information to be stored, for the lifetime of that particular cookie, when a browser accesses the various pages of a website or later returns to that website.
Cookies are stored in the memory of your browser and each one generally contains:
- The name of the server from which the cookie was sent;
- The lifetime of the cookie;
- A value;
- usually a randomly generated unique number.
The Internet server which sends the cookie uses this number to recognise you when you return to the site or browse between pages. Only the issuer of a cookie can read or modify the information it contains.
There are two types of cookies, known as "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies:
- "Session" cookies enable websites to track your activity during a browsing session. These "session" cookies disappear at the end of your browsing session and are therefore not stored for any longer than that.
- "Persistent" cookies are stored on your computer between browsing sessions and keep track of your preferences or activity on a site (or in some cases on different websites). "Persistent" cookies can be used for various purposes including remembering your preferences and choices when using a site.
Cookies can also be classified under the following categories: "internal cookies", which are generated by the website you are browsing, or "third party cookies" which are generated by a website other than the one you are browsing.
