What are Cookies and similar technologies?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store via your browser on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device.

There are three main types of cookies:

Session cookies: specific to a particular visit and limited to sending session identifiers (random numbers generated by the server) so you don’t have to re-enter information when you navigate to a new page or check out. Session cookies are not permanently stored on your device and are deleted when the browser closes;
Persistent cookies: record information about your preferences and are stored in your browser cache or mobile; and
Third party cookies: placed by someone other than us which may gather data across multiple websites or sessions.

We may also automatically collect and store certain information about your interaction with our website or app including IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, operating system, date and time stamps and related data.
