What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They allow our Site to store things like user preferences so that it can recognise you when you come back and respond appropriately.
Cookies enable you to use all the latest features of our Site and development tools and to personalize your experience on our Site. Cookies tell us which parts of our Site people have visited, and give us insights into user behaviour so we can improve our communications and products.
Some cookies are allocated to your device only for the duration of your visit to a website - these are called session based cookies. These cookies automatically expire when you close down your browser. We also use persistent cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time to avoid repeatedly asking you the same question, such as whether you allow us to install cookies.
In addition, please note that our Site contains third party cookies i.e. cookies that are set by a third party domain.
Types of cookies
The cookies used on our Site have been categorized based on the guidelines found in the ICC UK Cookie guide.
We use the following cookies:- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Site. They include the has_js cookie which identifies whether JavaScript is enabled in your browser, and session cookies which we use to keep you logged into the Site if you have a MyXMOS account. Without these cookies specific areas of the Site and features of the development tools cannot be provided.
- Anonymous Analytical/performance cookies. Every time someone visits our Site, software provided by an XMOS-approved organisation generates an anonymous analytics cookie. These cookies can be used to verify whether or not that someone has visited the Site before. Their browser will tell us if they already have these cookies and, if not, we generate new ones. This allows us to track and count how many individual users we have; see how often they visit the Site; and see how visitors move around our Site while they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
