There are different types of cookies:

  • First party cookies: these are set by the website you are visiting and only that website can read them.
  • Third party cookies: these are set by someone other than the website you are 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 and for personalisation (see below).
  • 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 our 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 our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. These cookies can also 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 us to advertise details of products or services that we think may be of interest. These cookies are persistent (for as long as you are registered with us) and mean that when you log in or return to the website, you may see advertising for products or services that are similar to information that you have previously browsed.

How long do cookies last?

Some cookies are removed when you finish your session and exit the browser. Others are more longterm, sometimes indefinite, and are saved onto your device so they are there when you return to the website.

How to reject cookies

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies if you do not want to receive cookies that are not strictly necessary to perform basic features of our site. Each browser is different, so check the Help menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. If you disable cookies, some of the features that make your site more efficient, may not function properly. Cookies can be disabled at any time, even if you have previously accepted them.
