What are cookies?
Cookies are small amounts of text that are stored to your device through your browser, based on the page you are viewing. Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our website.
All browsers such as Internet Explorer™, Firefox™, Google Chrome™ or any equivalents, which may be used either on a computer or on mobile devices, are software used to access any webpage. Such software provides users with the ability to navigate webpages with the use of cookies, which are small amounts of text that websites send to your browser.
Most of the time, cookies often contain an anonymised unique identifier. When you visit a website, a computer asks your PC or mobile device permission to store this file on your computer or mobile device.
Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits, the use a user makes of the webpage, whether a user has visited the site before and what site referred the user to a particular webpage.

Cookie types
- First-party cookies: whether a cookie is first- or third-party refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g. cookies placed by childhoodcancerinternational.org).
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. The most common type of this cookie is the Google Analytics™ cookie you will see below.

A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window or a browser tab and accesses a website, and it finishes when they close the browser tab or the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
- Performance cookies: these cookies collect information about how you use a website – e.g. which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. These cookies do not collect any information that could identify you and are only used to help us improve how our website works, understand what interests our users and measure how effective our content is.
