What is a cookie?

A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on a computer, tablet or mobile when you browse the internet so that computer, tablet or mobile (‘device’) can be recognised at a later time.

Cookies do not harm your device in any way but they do allow for several important features on the website, for instance, they allow you to request newsletters, place orders and return to pages that you have searched. They also help to keep the website secure, remember your preferences and personalise content on the website so that it is more relevant to you.

It is your choice whether or not you have cookies placed on your device and you can easily control the placement of cookies. For specific information about managing and controlling cookies, please refer to Managing Cookies.
