About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie policy explains what cookies are and how we use them. You should read this policy so you can understand what type of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used. For further information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy policy.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are stored on the browser or hard drive of your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage or application. Cookies work to make your experience browsing our site as smooth as possible and they remember your preferences, so you don’t have to insert your details again and again.
Cookies help us make the website function properly, make it more secure, provide better user experience, and understand how the website performs, and they help us to analyze what works on our website and where it needs improvement.
There are different types of cookies. Some cookies come directly from our website and others come from third parties which place cookies on our site. Cookies can be stored for varying lengths of time on your browser or device. Session cookies are deleted from your computer or device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer or device until deleted or until they reach their expiry date.
We have five varieties of cookies which operate on our website:
1. Strictly Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies are required to enable the basic features of this site, such as providing secure log-in or adjusting your consent preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable data.
2. Functional cookies
Functional cookies improve website functionality. They may assist in performing certain functions such as website content on social media platforms, collecting feedback, and other third-party features. Certain website features may not work properly without them, although these are non-essential parts of the website. They’re capable of remembering certain information about a user, although they do not track users across websites.
3. Analytics cookies
Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies collect information about how users access the website, for example, the number of users on a website, how long they stay on the site for, and what parts of the site they visit.
4. Performance cookies
Performance cookies, much like analytical cookies, allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.
These cookies don’t gather information that identifies you, they are anonymous and help to improve how the website works.
5. Advertisement cookies
Advertisement cookies are used to provide visitors with customized advertisements based on the pages you visited previously and to analyze the effectiveness of the ad campaigns.
How Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies on our website to:
- facilitate users’ ability to navigate through the website.
- ascertain whether the website is operating effectively.
- compile statistics on how our website is being used, which can help us to improve our website and online services.
- personalise and improve the services we offer you by understanding your preferences and establishing which areas of the website are most relevant to you.
Some of the cookies that we use are “Session Cookies” which are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your browser or device until they expire or you delete them from your browser history – these are known as “Persistent Cookies”.
All cookies have an “owner” which can be identified by looking at the domain (ie. the company or website name in the cookie). Cookies can either be first-party (i.e. they’re owned by the website who set them) or third-party (i.e. they’re not owned by the website who set them). We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.
