1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).
Cookies make your experience online more efficient and personalised by performing functions like remembering items in your shopping basket or your login details.

Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They can be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.
