Their main aim is to identify the type of device and to support the security of the website or its basic functions. They do not contain any personal information that allows anyone to be identified.

 

  1. b) Persistent or Permanent Cookies: These are stored on the hard drive of the device and the website reads them every time the site is visited again; they have a pre-determined expiry date, and once this date is reached, the cookie stops working. They allow your actions and preferences to be identified, visits to be analysed, and help to determine how users arrive at our website and how to improve our services.

 

  1. c) Functional Cookies: These allow the decisions taken by users to be remembered such as their login or ID. The information these cookies collect is anonymised (i.e. they do not store the name, address, or any other kind of data).

 

  1. d) Third-party Cookies: These cookies are installed by a website which is not the one being visited; e.g. those used by social media (such as Facebook) or by external content plug-ins (such as Google Maps). Some advertising companies use these kinds of files to track visits on each website where they advertise.

 

  1. e) Analytical Cookies: These cookies have the aim of periodical maintenance in order to ensure improved operation and service to users, compiling data on their activities.
