What are cookies?

​

A cookie is a small text file - containing small amounts of information - that passes to your computer through your web browser so that the website can remember who you are.

​

The length of time a cookie will stay on your computer depends on whether it is a persistent or session cookie. Session cookies are temporary cookies that stay on your computer until you leave the website. Persistent cookies stay on your computer after you have finished browsing until they expire or are deleted.

​

A pixel tag, or sometimes called a web beacon, is an invisible image with a line of code which is placed within an email message or on a web page. Cookies can either be categorised into First or Third-Party cookies.

 

“First Party Cookies” are cookies that Family Fest places on your device whereas “Third Party Cookies” are cookies that another party controls but are placed on your device when you visit our site. For example, we use Google Analytics cookies to gather information about the user experience on our website.

If you do decide to disable or delete them altogether some sites won't work as well as they rely on cookies to provide you with the service you have requested (see Strictly Necessary Cookies, above).
