Cookies, and tracking pixels
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that sent back to your computer’s hard drive by websites that you visit.
Cookies are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server.
Cookies allow us to recognize our registered users, count visitor numbers, and find out how they navigate the site, helping us make changes so you can find what you’re looking for more quickly.
Cookies may also be used in conjunction with pixel tags to determine pages that have been visited on our sites.
How to control, and delete cookies
You can change your cookie settings whenever you want to, and unless you change them, we’ll assume you are happy to receive all cookies on our website.
