A cookie is a small file containing a piece of information that is sent between web pages and stored on your device by your web browser. Cookies allow websites to recognise that you have visited before and to remember certain preferences or actions. Standard cookies are anonymous - they do not store personally identifiable information on their own. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which function in a comparable way to cookies and are also covered by this policy.
