WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small file that is loaded into your browser when you visit websites that use cookies. Cookies allow websites to distinguish between users and remember how they want to use the site. You can find more information about cookies at, for example, www.allaboutcookies.org.

WHAT ARE FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES?

Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party depends on the domain that creates it. First-party cookies are created by the website the user is visiting. Third-party cookies are created by a domain other than the one the user is visiting.

If you do not want cookies, you can disable them in your browser settings.

WHY DO WEBSITES USE COOKIES?

Cookies are a very convenient way to store information between visits, such as user settings or items in your basket. Without cookies, the site would not be able to remember which items were in your basket when you go to check out.
