Types of cookies

Session Cookies – these are temporary cookies which are erased once you exit your web browser. Session cookies allow websites to recognise and link the actions of a user during a browsing session.

Persistent cookies – these cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.  They can allow the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or across different websites) to be remembered.
