Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto a computer or mobile device when the user accesses a website. It allows the website to recognise that user’s device and store some information about the user’s preferences or past actions (this all depends on the cookie).

You can find out what cookies are used by clicking on the padlock in the address bar. Creative Stream sites can utilise (but are not limited to) cookies for social media, language translation, payment portals, subscriptions, form submissions, and interactive maps. Our sites also use analytic cookies to provide you with better content, and cookies to monitor the smooth-running of the site.

Strictly-necessary cookies are classified as cookies that must be present for the website to provide the basic functions of the website. They are essential to be able to access features of the website and could include signing in, adding items to a cart, or e-billing. They always need to be on.

These look at how you use the website and your web performance experience while visiting so we can improve it based on user/client needs. Analytics can store anonymised information such as

• how you get to the site,
• the pages you visit on the site,
• how long you spend on each page,
• and what you click on while visiting the site.

This helps sites to improve their content and ultimately provide a better service for you.

You can reject these cookies by clicking "Manage Cookies" (at the bottom left of the page), and choosing to reject them.

There may be content such as YouTube/social media/maps etc that is embedded in a Creative Stream site from a third party. When this happens we don't have control over the embedded content cookies from these external websites, and you'll need to take action yourself. You can go to the Creative Stream site to find out more about how to take control.
