How long are cookies saved for?
This depends on whether they are session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies delete themselves once you close your browser. Session cookies can help with security, and also remember what you’ve done on previous web pages so you don’t have to re-enter information.
Persistent cookies stay on your device after you close your browser. They’re used for lots of different things – one example is remembering your cookie preferences between visits, so you don’t need to keep telling us which cookies to use. In case you’ve forgotten about them, or changed your mind, we’ll ask you to confirm your cookie preferences every 180 days (six months). You can update your choice at any time in ‘Cookie settings’.
What type of cookies does "New look" use?
We use both first and third-party cookies on this site.
First party cookies are set by the digital platform you’re using and aren’t shared elsewhere. Often these cookies are used to remember information about how you used a platform.
Third party cookies are placed on your device by a website outside the one you’re on. For example, if you use a social media ’share’ button on a website, the social network (like Facebook) will put a cookie on your device so they know what you’ve liked. If you want to control how third parties can use your data then you need to set your privacy choices on their site.
