One way we collect information is through the use of a technology called “cookies”, as well as other related technologies, such as pixels, tags, beacons and local storage.
When you go online, you use a software program called a “browser” (like Apple’s Safari or Google’s Chrome). Most websites store a small amount of text in the browser—and that text is called a “cookie.” Similarly, [pixels, tags, beacons and local storage] are small pieces of code which, like cookies, allow a website or app to read or place information on a device or computer.
We use two different types of cookie – session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is stored temporarily, it only lasts until you close your browser. A persistent cookie is stored on your device and lasts until you or your browser deletes them. For example, we may use cookies to store your preferences or other settings so you don‘t have to set them up every time you visit our website, web portal or apps.
We use both first party and third-party cookies. First party cookies are those which we use. Third party cookies originate from one of our partners or service providers.
