These preferences are generally saved for 12 months.
Cookies are also used to target users with specific ads, which advertising providers believe may be of interest to the visitor. If visitors are in the EU they may see a pop up upon their first visit to the site, asking if they would like these personalised ads or whether they would prefer those ad-specific cookies not to be saved.
