1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit our Digital Media. A cookie will usually contain the name of the website/application from which the cookie has come from, the duration of the cookie (i.e. how long the cookie will remain on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.
2. Why do we use cookies?
Cookies make our Digital Media easier to use and helps us to tailor our service and products to your needs.
Cookies do this by letting our Digital Media recognise you so it can then retrieve important information that makes our service more convenient and personalised (for example, by remembering your preferences).
Cookies might also be used to help improve your experience on our Digital Media. In this way we use cookies to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that help us understand how people use our services, and to improve our structure and content of our Digital Media.
3. What are the different kind of cookies we use?
The types of cookies that we use can either be session or persistent, or first party or third party cookies.
