What are Cookies?

Our Site uses cookies to deliver Start Living’s services. A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer which can be used by a browser to help a website recognise repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the Site and allows a site to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data, all of which allow internet services to make content improvements and, in some cases, target advertising.

Some cookies are deleted when you close down your browser. These are known as session cookies. Others remain on your device until they expire or you delete them from your cache. These are known as persistent cookies and enable us to remember things about you as a returning visitor.

This website uses both session and persistent cookies.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers contain a function that allows a user to deny the cookie feature. You can also delete cookie files from your computer at your discretion. Disabling the cookie feature on your browser or deleting cookie files from your computer may render you unable to access the Site and may impair your ability to utilise our services. Cookies may also be necessary to provide you with certain features such as customised delivery of information.

Start Living uses cookies to provide its services, to deliver content specific to your interests and for other purposes. You can manage your cookie settings for this website by clicking on the link below.
