Cookies

Concept of Cookies A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. Cookies contain a number that can uniquely identify your computer, even when there is a change in location or IP address.

Cookies also provide information that includes, but is not limited to, the location from which you access our website, the length you are connected to and browsing our web site, the type of device from which you access our website (fixed or mobile), including, your operating system and browser used, the most visited pages, number of clicks made and data regarding your behaviour on the Internet.

The website is accessible without cookies being enabled on your browser, although its deactivation may prevent proper operation of the website or your access to the service provided through the website.

Types of Cookies

Session Cookies

Session cookies are like wafers. They don’t stick around long and they’re not going to get you into too much trouble if you eat them. They are information that is only stored in your browser’s memory while your browser is open. For example, they may store where you have been on a multi-page website.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies are like peanut butter cookies. They have sticking power. They are stored in your browser’s memory even after it is closed, but eventually expire and get deleted. For example, by clicking “remember me” on an online account, you allow the website to create and store a persistent cookie until your login expires.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are the cookies you get from the bakery. They’re created for a specific purpose by the company whose website you visited. For example, a first-party cookie may direct whether you get a pop-up for the company newsletter.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are like the cookies you get at a fast-food restaurant. They were made by someone other than the company you are visiting, and you’re not entirely sure what’s in them. For example, when a website imbeds a Google Map on its contact page, Google uses a third-party cookie to track your clicks on that map.

Authorisation for Use of Cookies

Cookies on our Website

Performance and Functionality Cookies: We use these to facilitate proper navigation and function of the website, as well as to ensure that content is loaded effectively.

‘crumb’ is a session cookie and is used to recognise a computer when a user visits our website. Squarespace our website platform sets this cookie to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Google Analytics - provides site usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors.

‘_ga’, the main cookie used by Google Analytics, enables the service to distinguish one visitor from another and lasts for 2 years. Any site that implements Google Analytics, including Google services, uses the ‘_ga’ cookie. Each ‘_ga’ cookie is unique to the specific property, so it cannot be used to track a given user or browser across unrelated websites.

‘VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE’ and ‘__Secure-YEC’ cookies on YouTube are used to detect and resolve problems with the service. These cookies last for 6 months and for 13 months, respectively. YouTube is part of Google and adheres to Google's Privacy Policy and principles. Google mobile apps may also use unique identifiers, such as the ‘Google Usage ID’, for analytics.
