What are cookies?

Like many websites, we use cookies on our Site. A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to power and improve our Site and our Services, to run analytics and better understand user interaction with the Services (in our legitimate interests to administer, improve and optimize the Services). Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor. Read more about cookies (and other similar tracking technologies) and how we use the data collected through these technologies, in our Privacy Policy.

What cookies do we use and why?

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies/Strictly Necessary Cookies – These cookies are necessary for the website or service to function and cannot be switched off on our site. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not then work.

Functional Cookies – These cookies enable the website or service to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly. 

Analytics Cookies 

First party analytics cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site and services. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is used on an aggregate and/or anonymous basis (i.e. to understand more about our users generally and not any one individual). If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site or used our service, and will not be able to monitor the performance of the site or service. These cookies may also measure the effectiveness of advertising.

Third party analytics cookies: we also use Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers to help measure how users interact with our website content. These cookies “remember” what our users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the website. 

Targeting Cookies – These cookies (also known as advertising cookies or social media cookies) may be set through our site or digital service by us or our third-party advertising partners (including social media platforms). They may be used by us and those third-parties to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites and services. They do this by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

How long will cookies remain on my computer or mobile device?

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

How to control cookies?

You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Cookie Consent

When you access our Site, we will ask you to provide consent for our use of non-essential cookies. We may repeat this request on subsequent visits to our Site, for example if you delete cookies from your browser or we need to request new consents from you.

When we seek your consent, you will either be able to provide consent for all cookies that we would like to use, or you can tailor your cookie preferences (provide consent for some non-essential cookies) using our cookie settings.

Where cookies are essential to the operation of our Site, we can use these without your consent and they cannot be managed using our cookie settings.

Browser Settings

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu.
