2. What are cookies? Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile device or other device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners.

Functional cookies These cookies allow us to remember your preferences (e.g., language or region) and provide enhanced functionality.
