The use of cookies on setara.co.uk We use cookies to make our site work. We’d also like to set optional analytics cookies to help us improve it. We won’t set optional cookies unless you enable them. Using this tool will set a cookie on your device to remember your preferences.

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that a website stores in visitors’ browsers. These files contain information about the visitor. Here are some common examples of cookie use:

  1. Storing login credentials so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you visit.
  2. Remembering specific pages that you have looked at lately.
  3. Noting specific behaviour, such as when you last visited the site
  4. Overall, browsing the web would be a slower and less personal experience without cookies. Websites wouldn’t be able to ‘remember’ any of the information that makes your life easier.
  5. Session cookies. These are the ones that tell your browser: “Hey, we just logged into this site a while ago, so let’s not close the session just yet”. That saves you from having to log in over and over again.

It’s important to reiterate that cookies reside within each user’s browser. That means they’re safe even if someone breaches the website’s security, which is exactly why they’re often used to handle sensitive information.

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Some are necessary for technical reasons, some enable a personalised experience, and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. Some cookies may be set when a page is loaded or when you take a particular action  such as clicking a ‘like’ button.

Below the different categories of cookies set by our site are outlined, with specific examples detailed. This includes their name and purpose. Certain cookies are only set for logged-in visitors, whereas others are set for any visitors, and these are marked accordingly. Where a cookie only applies to specific subdomains, they are included under the relevant header.
