A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is placed on the browser of your computer, tablet
or mobile device by us. This information is then sent back to our systems and recorded as you move

mobile and computer to access our site, different data will be collected for each.

There are both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies exist only for the length of
time that you visit our site and are deleted once you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies
remain stored on your browser ready for use the next time you visit our website. Like most sites, we
use a combination of both.
