Different types of cookies

First party cookies: these are set by the website you’re visiting and only that website can read them.

Third party cookies: these are set by someone other than the website you’re visiting. Some website

pages may feature content from other sites such as Twitter and YouTube which may have their own

cookies. Sharing a website page on another service page e.g. Twitter may also set a cookie on your

browser.

Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are

automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID

allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any

information from your computer.

Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there

when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you

visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics.

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively,

such as when applying for a job, and therefore cannot be turned off. Without these cookies, the

services available to you on a given website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most popular.

Functionality cookies: These cookies allow a website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. These cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.

Personalisation cookies: These cookies help a website to advertise details of products or services that may be of interest to its visitors.
