Information about our use of cookies

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. A cookie is a piece of information (a small file of letters and numbers) that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer, if you agree. A cookie records how you move around a website so, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system.

We are required to obtain your consent for all non-essential cookies used on our website. You can block cookies at any time by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies (including essential cookies).

How do we use cookies?

On our website, only essential cookies are activated by default.

We use these cookies to track your use of our website. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns with regard to how you are using our website. This helps us to develop and improve our website as well as the products and/or services we offer.

Cookies are classified as follows:

• Session cookies: These are stored temporarily on your computer only during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They typically store an anonymous session ID, allowing you to navigate the site without needing to log in to each page. They do not gather any personal data from your device.
• Persistent cookies: These are stored as a file on your computer and remain there even after you close your browser. The website that created the cookie can access it when you return to the site. We use persistent cookies for analytical services.

We use the following cookies:

• Essential (strictly necessary) cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website (site functionality). These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
• Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website and allow our website to remember the choices you make. They may also provide you with enhanced features, such as news or updates relevant to your needs or interests. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
• Analytical/performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website while they are using it.
• Targeting/advertising cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed.

• First- and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are cookies set by our website. Third-party cookies are cookies on our website that are placed by a different website, such as when advertisements are displayed on our site.

The following table explains the cookies we use and why, including any third-party cookies.
