1.What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store, and which your browser then sends back on every later request to that site. Cookies let a site recognise your device and remember something between one page and the next — the language you chose, or the consent choices you made.
Two things sit alongside cookies and do a similar job, so this policy covers them too:
Local storage and session storage. These also keep information in your browser, but the information is never attached to network requests — it stays on your device until the page reads it. We use these in preference to cookies wherever we can.
Pixels, tags and embedded frames. A small image, script or embedded player loaded from another company's servers. Loading one lets that company see your IP address and set its own cookies.
Cookies set by this website are first-party cookies. Cookies set by a service embedded in our pages — a video player, an analytics tag, an advertising pixel — are third-party cookies, and they are governed by that company's own privacy policy as well as this one.
