A cookie is a small text file placed on a user's hard drive. It is generated by a web page
server, which is basically the computer that operates the Site. The information the cookie
contains is set by the server and it can be used by that server whenever the user visits the

Types of cookies: A list of the categories of cookies used on this Site is set out below.
1-Strictly necessary cookies:
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Site and use its
features. For example, strictly necessary cookies are required so that you can log into your
account, set your preferences and complete forms. Without these cookies, services you have
asked for, such as remembering your login details cannot be provided. They also ensure that
our pages load quickly by distributing the workload. Strictly necessary cookies are also
essential for our site to distinguish between browsers, differentiate users behind a shared
IP address so as to deliver correct content, and to recognise trusted traffic and apply
security settings. Certain of our strictly necessary cookies are session cookies, meaning
that they expire once you exit your session and close your browser. Other of our strictly
necessary cookies may last for six months or longer, for example to remember your cookie
preferences for this period and to recognise trusted traffic, or for as long as you retain
an online account with us.
We use the following strictly necessary cookies, as session cookies, to enable the website to
function:
"route" is used for session stickiness.
"careerSiteCompanyId" is used to send requests to the correct data
centre.
"JSESSIONID" is placed on the user’s device during the session so the
server can identify the visitor.
"Load balancer cookie" (actual cookie name may vary) prevents a visitor
from bouncing from one instance to another.
