What are Cookies?

When you visit a website, it downloads small text files called cookies to your computer or other internet-enabled devices (such as mobile phones and tablets). The cookie will aid in the recognition of your device the next time you visit the page. Cookies can be used for a range of things, such as remembering your preferences, tracking your activity, analysing usage, and improving your user experience. Most cookies will not gather information that can be used to identify you. Instead, they will collect more basic information about you, such as your general location or how you access and utilise our targeted advertising websites.

These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
