COOKIE NOTICE
When you access or use our content, products, and services, we may collect information from your devices by using cookies.
Cookies perform various functions, and the purpose of this policy is to give you a clearer understanding of what cookies are, why we use cookies, which cookies we use, and how you can control the use of cookies.
Insofar as those cookies are not strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website and the provision of our services, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies when you first visit our website.
Except as otherwise stated in this policy, the Privacy Policy will apply to our processing of the data that we collect via cookies.
ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are text files containing a small amount of information that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to improve your online experience and to ensure that relevant content and functions are delivered and used more effectively. Your browser makes cookies available each time you visit our websites.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
COOKIES USED ON OUR WEBSITE
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies to perform various functions across our sites. Session cookies are downloaded to your device temporarily for the period that you browse a website; these cookies might allow you to navigate between pages more efficiently or enable websites to remember the preferences you select. Persistent cookies will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user. These cookies can be used to help websites remember you as a returning visitor and may hold data such as login details, contact information and account numbers, so that you don't have to type them in every time you use the site.
Some cookies are placed by the website operator. They are called first party cookies. Cookies may also be placed on your device by a party other than the website operator, our service providers. Such cookies are known as third party cookies. While there are many different uses for cookies, the cookies we may use all fall into one of the following main categories:
Strictly necessary cookies:
These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to operate. They are used to provide content to you, as a user, and to provide products and services that you have requested.
This type of cookies is essential to help your device download or stream information so that you can navigate around our websites and use its features. They are used to maintain a logged-in status for a user between pages or to maintain an anonymous user session by the server.
They do not store any personally identifiable information and without them the website doesn't work, for this reason they can't be disabled.
Functional cookies:
These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our websites and allow us to remember the choices you make and to enable us to provide improved features. They also enhance the functionality of our websites. Functional cookies record information about choices you've made (such as language preference) and allow us to provide more personal features. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Performance cookies:
These cookies are used to collect information on website usage. While these cookies do not identify you personally while you are not logged in, they will collect your browser information and anonymized data and are used to provide aggregated statistics on visitors to our websites. These statistics are used for internal purposes to help us to test and improve the performance of our websites, providing a better user experience. In certain cases, some of these cookies are managed by third parties. These third parties are not capable of using these cookies for any purpose other than those outlined above, and they are unable to identify with these cookies.
Targeting cookies:
These cookies record information such as your visit to our website, your browser habits, the pages you have visited, the links you have followed and the products you have selected. We will use this information to make our website, the advertising displayed and our marketing communications more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests, to show you relevant content including adverts on other sites, and to deliver content and marketing communications tailored to your interests, to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.
They do not store personal information directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Fraud prevention:
These cookies store information which helps us stop fraudulent use of the Website.
Third party cookies on this website include cookies from third parties. In some cases, you may be able to alter your cookie settings through the third parties’ own sites.
MANAGING COOKIES
