2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or device when you visit. They let the site remember things such as whether you are signed in or which cookie choices you have made. Websites can also use similar technologies, such as local storage in your browser, scripts and pixels, for the same kinds of purposes. In this policy we use “cookies” to mean all of these.
Cookies set by us on www.fledglings.co are first-party cookies. Cookies set by other organisations whose services we use (for example Google or YouTube) are third-party cookies. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others stay on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
