- Session and persistent cookies Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer. The Regulations apply to both types of cookies: Session cookies – allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. They could also be used for security when a user is accessing internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored longer term. For this reason session cookies may sometimes be considered less privacy intrusive than persistent cookies. Persistent cookies – are stored on a user's device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising. First and third party cookies – Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited by the user - the website displayed in the URL window. Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie.

- Most web users will be unaware that they can control how content is delivered and/or displayed through their web browser. For example, most modern web browsers will automatically enable Javascript to ensure that the intended functionality of web pages that deploy this common technology. Disabling Javascript is a simple task. However, many web pages use Javascript to improve functionality. If Javascript is turned off, pages may cease to function, links won’t work and so on. Because most cookies are set using Javascript, disabling Javascript will stop cookies being set on a user’s device. However, as above, many cookies are an essential part of page functionality: many pages will cease to function, links won’t work and so on. A user disabling Javascript or cookies would have access to most services offered by our website.
