The length of time a cookie will remain on your device will depend on the type of cookie.
- Session Cookies. These are temporary cookies, which only exist in the period you access the website (or more strictly, until you close the browser after accessing the website). Session cookies help the JSWeb website remember what you chose on the previous page, therefore avoiding the need to re-enter information and improve your experience whilst using the site. This comes in handy when you have added items to a basket! These cookies do not contain personal information and cannot be used to identify you.

These are cookies, which remain on your device after you have visited our website. e.g any items that are in your basket or any ‘remember me’ login requests when logging onto the Client Area. Persistent cookies help us identify you as a unique visitor; they do not contain information that could be used to identify you to another person.
