• ‘Persistent’ cookies stay on your device after you’ve visited our website and have a fixed expiry depending on the specific cookie, unless you choose to delete or disable them earlier. Persistent cookies help us to identify you as a unique visitor and tailor the website to be more relevant for you the next time you visit and improve your overall experience of the services or functions offered.
