What's with the "cookies"?

Great question. A cookie is a delicious treat which leaves you with a great after taste! Oh sorry, you mean a web cookie. A web cookie is a small piece of data that websites asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. All websites use cookies to allow the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time, and so deliver benefits such as more tailored content and easier to use features.

Most browsers support cookies, but users can set their browsers to decline them and can delete them whenever they like.

Why are you telling me this?

We think it’s important for you to know this and so does the European Commission and the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office. You can find out more about the European Legislation here: http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm

Are cookies safe?

Absolutely, unless you have nut allergies! Oh never mind, we’re still taking about web cookies. They are also totally safe. They can’t look into your computer or read any personal information or other material on your hard drive. Cookies can’t carry viruses or install anything harmful on your computer.

Why do you need to use cookies?

We want to create the best user experience for you whilst on our site by making your interactions on our site faster and easier. As an example the cookies we use can remember your preferences, login details or information you supply as you move through an application process. What cookies don't do is store any personal or confidential information about you.

• To allow us to record users’ preferences to improve future website visit experiences, by reducing the amount of keystrokes or clicks to get to the pages you are after.
• To allow us to understand which pages on our website are most popular, so we can provide more great content to our customers.

What kind of cookies do you use?

As a rule of thumb, we love Chocolate Chip but on the website we only use cookies which are strictly necessary for the operation of the website which will expire when you leave the website. Other cookies may be more permanent or not expire unless you actively delete them.

Here’s a breakdown of the different cookie types and how we may use them:

• Strictly necessary cookies (Chocolate Chip). These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website. They do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes or remembering where you've been on the Internet.
• Analytical/performance cookies (Oatmeal & Raisin). They allow us to collect information about how you use our website, such as, how you move around our website and if you experience any errors. These cookies do not collect any information that could identify you; all of the information collected is anonymous and is only used to help us improve the way our website works, understand what interests our users and measure how effective our advertising is.
• Functionality cookies (Peanut Butter). These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences and improve your visit.
• Targeting cookies (Double Chocolate). These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. They are linked to services provided by third parties, such as "Like" and "Share" buttons. The third party provides these services in return for recognising that you have visited our website.

I don’t like sweets, how do I manage/disable Cookies?

Who doesn’t like cookies? Just kidding, we respect whatever you like (even cupcakes) so you can set your browser to decline them and delete them whenever you like.

However, please keep in mind that by deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our website.

Remember, we never store sensitive data, such as bank details, in cookies and our cookies are completely safe and can’t harm your computer in any way.

So how do I disable the cookies then, smart guy?

Oh yeah, that might be helpful huh?
