Cookie Policy

Cookies

The site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of the site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse the site and also allows us to improve our site.

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you.  Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be used to track your movements around the web.  Although they do identify a user’s computer, cookies do not personally identify users and passwords and credit card information are not stored in cookies.

We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our site and under our terms with you. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our site or make use of e-billing services.

Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us for our legitimate purposes to improve the way the site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We also use third-party web analytics software on our websites and apps (such as Google Analytics).

Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our site. This enables us, subject to your choices and preferences, to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We may use this information subject to your choices and preferences to make our site more relevant to your interests.  We have enabled Google Analytics Data Collection for Advertising Features, including Remarketing and Advertising Reporting Features. These features enable us to make use of data from users who have chosen to allow Google to associate their web and app browsing history with their Google account in order to personalise the ads we may show in Google Search and Display Advertising. This helps us provide more relevant messaging to our users. This also provides us with demographic and interest information at an aggregate level that helps us to understand our users better.

Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. You can also learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org which includes additional useful information on cookies and how to block cookies using different types of browser or mobile device. Please note, however, that by blocking or deleting cookies used on the site, you may not be able to take full advantage of the site.

Where you have not set your cookies permissions, we may also separately prompt you regarding our use of cookies on the site.

Please note that other third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
