A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

About our cookies

Sending data outside the EEA

We will only send your data outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) to:

  • Comply with a legal duty.
  • When data processors we use send data outside the EEA but have relevant safeguards in place.

If we or a processor we use do transfer information outside of the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected in the same way as if it was being used in the EEA. We’ll use one of these safeguards:

  • Transfer it to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA. Learn more on the European Commission Justice website.
  • Put in place a contract with the recipient that means they must protect it to the same standards as the EEA. Read more about this here on the European Commission Justice website,
  • Transfer it to organisations that are part of Privacy Shield. This is a framework that sets privacy standards for data sent between the US and EU countries. It makes sure those standards are similar to what is used within the EEA. You can find out more about data protection on the European Commission Justice website.
