12.1 What are Cookies?

12.1.1 Certain sections of the Website use cookies. These are small pieces of data sent by the Website's server to your computer that allow the Website to retrieve your user preferences, to personalise your visits and to simplify any sign-in procedures. It consists of anonymous information, including a unique user identifier. When you revisit a site or navigate between pages, this data is passed from your browser to the Website's server.

We can then use this information to improve the Website for all our visitors.

12.1.2 Cookies are intended to improve your user experience by making it faster and easier to navigate through a website. For example, some websites require that you log in to gain access. If such websites did not use cookies, then you would be required to enter your login details every time you navigated to a new page because the website would not be able to remember that you had already logged in.
