How long do cookies last?

Cookies last for different lengths of time depending on what they are used for:

  • Session cookies are temporary cookies and are only stored until you leave the website or when you close your web browser.
  • Persistent cookies last for a fixed period of time, defined within the cookie, and allow the website to recognise the device again when the user returns to that website on that device.

Who sets cookies?

  • First party cookies are set by the website that you are visiting and can only be read by that website.
