1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a specific webpage. On each subsequent visit, Cookies are returned to the originating Website or another webpage that recognizes that cookie.

Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and improving the user experience.

3. What types of cookies do we use?
The types of cookies used by us and our partners in connection with our Websites can be classified into one of five categories, namely “Essential Cookies”, “Functionality Cookies”, “Performance/Analytics Cookies”, “Advertising/Tracking Cookies”, and “Social Media Cookies”. We’ve set out further information about each category and the purposes of the cookies we and third parties set in the following table.
| Type of cookie | What it does | How to block |
| Cookies necessary for essential Website purposes (“Essential Cookies”) | These cookies are essential to provide you access to our Websites and any services available through our Websites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for, like transactional pages and certain login accounts, would not be possible. | Please see the instructions in “How to control or delete cookies” below. |
| Functionality Cookies | Functionality cookies record information about your choices and allow us to tailor our Websites to you. These cookies mean that when you continue to use or return to our Websites, we can provide you with our services as you have asked for them to be delivered. For example, these cookies allow us to:

Please also see the instructions in “How to control or delete cookies” below. |
| Advertising/ Tracking Cookies | As you use our Websites, you will notice that they feature advertising. We allow third-party companies, including advertising companies, to place cookies on our Websites. These cookies enable such companies to track your activity across various sites where they display ads and record your activities so they can show ads that they consider relevant to you as you browse the Internet. These cookies are anonymous — they store information about your browsing content but not your identity.
Cookies also allow us and third parties to know whether you’ve seen an ad or a type of ad and how long it has been since you’ve last seen it. This information is used for frequency capping purposes to avoid you seeing the same ad multiple times, to help tailor the ads you see, to detect and prevent click fraud, and to measure the effectiveness of ads. |
All the ad companies or networks we work with have privacy policies and offer a mechanism for users to opt out of tracking and behavioural targeting available through the ad itself or the opt-out mechanisms listed in the “How to control or delete cookies” section below. |
| Social Media Cookies | On some pages of our Websites, third parties that provide applications through our Websites may set their anonymous cookies to track the success of their applications or customize applications for you. For example, when you share an article using a social media sharing button on our Websites (e.g., Twitter or Facebook), the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this. Because of how cookies work, we cannot access these cookies, nor can third parties access the data in cookies used by us. Some pages of our Websites may also contain embedded content, such as video content from YouTube or Vimeo, and these sites may set their cookies. | Please see the instructions in “How to control or delete cookies” below. |
