What are Cookies and Web Beacons?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

A web beacon is a small image (usually embedded in a web page or email) that allows a web site to count users who have visited that page or to access certain cookies.

Types of Cookies

There are three main types of cookies generally used on websites:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies services you have asked for (like selecting a product for purchase) cannot be provided. The life span of these cookies only lasts for the duration of your visit and they are deleted when you close the Internet browser. Their main purpose is to identify the type of device you use, to enhance the security of the website or its basic functionality. They do not contain any personal information which makes it possible to identify a person.

Functionality cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. For instance, they may be used to remember your account details and personal preferences, or to provide services you have asked for such as rating a review or sharing via social media. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies have an expiry date or a specified expiry date, and these cookies stop working once the expiry date has lapsed.

Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
