This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Assigning your device a number facilitates the proper functioning of the features of our Website by permitting us to maintain a persistent ‘state’ for your session, including information relating to orders that you may place. We also use session cookies to collect anonymous information (i.e., information that does not identify you personally) about the ways users use the Website, such as pages they visit, links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We analyse this ‘click-stream information’ to better understand our user’s interests and needs and to improve the content and functionality of the Website.

Persistent cookies can be used to ‘tag’ your device so that the next time you visit (or someone using your device visits), our server will recognize you, not by name, but by the ‘tag’ on your device. This will enable us to provide you with a personalised experience even if we do not know who you are. It will also allow us to collect more accurate information about the ways people use the Website, for example, how people use the Website on their first visit and how often they return. Using persistent cookies permits us to provide you with a more personalized experience and, in some cases, may save you the trouble of re-entering information already in our database.
