What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) when visiting our website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, HWiPT) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons.

Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. This is described in more detail below.
