That way, you don't have to keep re-entering the information whenever you come back to the website or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also help customize your browsing experience.
Not all cookies contain personal information but where they do, we would treat this information as personal data in accordance with our privacy statement. As stated above, The Neurodiversity Family Hub does not use any cookies that contain personal or identifiable information.
TYPES OF COOKIES
There are two broad categories of cookies: persistent cookies and session cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device until deleted manually or automatically. Session cookies remain on your device until you close your browser and are thereby automatically deleted.
