What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on your device by a website you visit. It usually contains some information about the user and their preferences, such as login details or language settings. When you revisit the same site, the server checks for cookies to determine what level of access to grant you.

Why are Cookies Used?

Cookies serve several purposes:

  • Session management: To enable a website to identify individual users across multiple pages.
  • Authentication: To verify your identity and provide access to restricted areas.
  • Personalisation: To tailor the experience based on your preferences, language, or location.
  • Analytics: To help us understand how you interact with our site.

Types of Cookies

Cookies can be categorised into several types:

Essential Cookies

These are required for core functionality and cannot be disabled. They typically include cookies that manage sessions, authentication, or security-related tasks.

Session Cookies

Session cookies store information only during a single visit to the site. When you close your browser, they are automatically deleted.

Purpose: Temporary login details, temporary shopping cart contents, etc.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device even after closing your browser. They can be used for longer-term preferences or to speed up future visits by storing non-critical data locally.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are often called "performance" or "analytics" cookies and help us understand how users behave on our site. These might record user interactions with specific features, such as button clicks or video playback events.

Purpose: User tracking for improvement, conversion rate analysis, A/B testing 

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These track various aspects of your browsing behaviour:

  • Time on the site
  • Pages viewed per visit
  • Bounce rates (leaving immediately after arrival)
  • Page scrolls
  • Button clicks

Purpose: To assess overall user experience and improve the website.

Preference and Language Settings

We use cookies to remember your selected preferences:

  • Language settings: Your preferred language for browsing our site.
  • Currency conversions
  • Display density

Purpose: Tailor content and functionality according to user choice.

Login/Session Continuity

Cookies enable persistence of login sessions across multiple requests. This helps maintain authentication status as you navigate the website.

Device Recognition

We use cookies for anonymous device recognition:

  • Browser type
  • Screen size
  • OS information

Purpose: Improve compatibility and display content according to your setup.

Security-Related Cookies

These protect against common web threats such as SQL injection attacks or brute-force login attempts. They ensure we maintain a secure environment for all users:

Browser Storage Technologies

In addition to cookies, other storage technologies are used within your browser to store data locally.

  • Local Storage: A key-value database where user information can be stored securely.
  • IndexedDB: Similar in functionality to local storage but more flexible regarding storing structured data.

These ensure an improved browsing experience by reducing the number of round trips between the server and client for smaller, less important requests. They are used when dynamically loading content or enhancing overall site interaction without overloading the network with too many AJAX requests:

Third-Party Integrations

Our website integrates other services from various third-party providers to enhance user experience.

  • Google Analytics
