What are cookies?

A "cookie" is a text file that websites send to a visitor's computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser.

Do we use cookies on the Sites, and if so, why?

Yes. By using our website you agree that, unless you have set your computer's browser to reject them, we can place the types of cookies set out in the table below on your device, and use that data in accordance with this policy.
