What is a cookie?

A “Cookie” is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the Cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

Cookies typically fall into the following categories:

  • A First-Party Cookie refers to a Cookie created by the domain of the website the user is visiting.
  • A Third-Party Cookie is a Cookie that is placed by a domain other than that of the website the user is visiting.
  • A Session Cookie is temporary, linking the actions of a user during the any given browser session. When the browser is closed, the cookie is deleted.
  • A Permanent Cookie, also known as a persistent Cookie, is stored for a specific period of time and activates each time the user visits the website that created the Cookie.

A “Web Beacon” (also called a “pixel tag” or “clear GIF”) is a piece of computer code that enables us to monitor user activity and website traffic.

Types of Pixels tags commonly used are as follows:

  • Essential - used to help you move around the website and use basic functions. If these are disabled you may not be to use all functions of the website.
  • Advertising - Used to deliver advertisements (ads) more relevant to you. They will also limit the number of times you might see a specific ad as well as measure the effectiveness of the ad campaign. They remember your device's visit to the website and help us to understand what products and services interest you the most. This allows us to better tailor ads to your interests.
  • Analytics - Used to measure website traffic, sessions, time on page and other metrics tied to actions taken across the website. This allows us to improve the overall user experience on our site.
