Cookies in Flash files

What is Flash

Flash is a file format used to show video and animation. We use Flash files to present information on our sites and integrate with third parties, such as YouTube.

Flash cookies

It is possible for third party creators of Flash files to set cookies as part of their files. At the moment, it is not possible to identify all flash files that set cookies and this means we cannot guarantee the status of every flash file. The Flash platform is distributed by Adobe and they offer a number of tools to monitor, block and remove flash cookies:

Cookies used for transactions and forms

Many of our pages contain transaction areas, such as forms, and surveys. These areas all need cookies to function.

From time to time, we may include short-term surveys, comparisons and other temporary features on our site that could use cookies. If we do this, we'll always try to make sure that we list the cookies that are used, but this may not always be possible given the short-term nature of these features.

Cookies used for online accounts and secure areas

All online accounts and secure areas of our site need to use cookies.
