For those that want a little more information, we've added information which details the exact purpose of every single cookie we create. Lastly, we've included information about the time the cookie is kept on your system (is it kept after you leave the site, to be used when you return – persistent – or deleted once your visit is completed and only used for that visit – session)

Cookies which make our site function correctly
We have a bunch of features which need to understand what youve been doing on the site recently, and to reduce the amount of times you have to do the same thing.
