What are cookies
Cookies are small data files sent from a website to your web browser, They are stored in your web browser’s cache; and allow a website or a third party to recognise your browser or mobile device.

We may also use analytics cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising on the Sites and the Apps and elsewhere on the internet.
Advertising Cookies are placed by us and our advertising partners to deliver more relevant advertising. Our Sites, Apps and services are predominately free to consume, and in exchange we sell our advertising space to allow us to create high quality content and bring you the services you value. Cookies are a vital part of that value exchange.
These cookies may gather information about your browsing activity on our sites and for third parties, across different Sites and across different visits. They allow us and advertisers to show more relevant ads and allow advertisers to manage how many times a device sees an advert. They might also allow the advertiser to tailor advertising to you when you visit our Sites. Advertising Cookies are usually stored until you delete them; or they expire based on the time period set in each cookie; which is normally around 30 days.
The third party advertisers are required to follow the applicable laws. However, Reach plc does not have control over the third party organisations that place cookies; who each have their own cookie and privacy policies. We aim to be transparent on who we work with.
