Third party cookies

Third party cookies are cookies that exist on our website but originate from different domains. For example, we encourage visitors to share our content on various social networks. We add buttons to allow people to share easily to those networks. When we include these social ‘plugins’, it gives those sites the flexibility to use cookies. They can’t read any cookies we set from our website, and we can’t read any cookies they set.
