How long a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in different ways. Remember that deleting or blocking cookies may have a negative impact on your user experience, and some parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser's controls, which are often found in your browser's "Tools" or "Preferences" menu. Further information on how to change your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser's help file or on sites such as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
Also, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent information from being shared with third parties, such as our advertising partners.
