To keep our site safe and secure
We run things called ‘persistent’ and ‘session’ cookies, and run different cookies depending on what we are aiming to achieve.
Persistent and session cookies
-
‘Session’ cookies are cookies that don’t contain an expiration date, are stored to memory, and never written to disk; therefore, when you close your browser, that specific cookie will be lost.
-
‘Persistent’ cookies are cookies that have an expiration date and live on the disk until they’ve reached that date; at which point, they are lost forever...
Google Analytics for example, which is one of a variety of cookies we use, is ‘persistent’ and helps us understand things like:
-
How you find our site
-
What you engage with most on our site
-
Where you leave our site
-
If you choose to return to our site (which we hope you will!)
Which, in turn, helps us continually improve and modify the content we create for you.
