Cookies Policy
We have developed this cookie policy (the “Cookie Policy”) to explain how we use cookies and similar technologies (together, “Cookies”) on this website (the “Site”) and to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of your personal information.
The first time you visit our Website, we notify you about our use of Cookies via a notification banner. By continuing to use the site, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. However, you can choose whether or not to continue accepting Cookies later. Information on how to manage Cookies is presented later in this Cookies Policy.
Please note that our use of any personal information we collect about you is subject to our Privacy Policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files containing user IDs that are automatically placed on your computer or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are stored by your internet browser. The browser sends Cookies back to the website on each subsequent visit, allowing the website to recognize your computer or device. This recognition allows the website provider to observe your activity on the website, provide a personalized and responsive service and improve the website.
Cookies can be ‘Session Cookies’ or ‘Persistent Cookies’. Session cookies allow a website to link a series of your actions during a browser session, for example to remember items you have added to a shopping cart. Session cookies expire after a browser session and are therefore not stored on your computer or device afterwards. Persistent Cookies are stored on your computer or device between browser sessions and may be used when you make subsequent visits to the website, for example, to remember your website preferences such as language or font size.
Cookies we use and their purpose
We use four types of Cookies – “Strictly Necessary” Cookies, “Performance” Cookies, “Functionality” Cookies and “Targeting” or “Advertising” Cookies. Each type of Cookies and the purposes for which we use them are described in this section. To find out more about the specific Cookies we use, see our Cookies List.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies
‘Strictly Necessary’ cookies allow you to move around the site and use essential features. For example, if you log in to the Website, we use a Cookie to keep you logged in and allow you to access restricted areas without having to repeatedly enter your login details. If you are registering or purchasing a product or service, we will use Cookies to remember your information and selections as you progress through the registration or purchase process. Strictly Necessary Cookies are necessary for our Website to provide you with a full service. If you disable them, certain essential features of the Website will not be available to you and the Website’s performance will be impaired. - Performance Cookies
‘Performance’ cookies collect information about how you use our Website, for example, which pages you visit and whether you notice errors. These Cookies do not collect any information that could identify you – all information collected is anonymous. We may use these Cookies to help us understand how you use the website and evaluate how the website is performing and how we can improve it for you. We may also use these Cookies to find out which parts of the site interest you and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. - Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow a website to provide you with specific services or a personalized experience. We may use these Cookies to provide services such as watching a video or adding user comments. We may also use these Cookies to remember changes you make to your settings or preferences (for example, changes to text size or your choice of language or region) or to offer you personalized or time-saving features. You can control whether or not Functionality Cookies are used, but disabling them may mean that we cannot provide you with some services or features of the Website. - Targeting or advertising Cookies
‘Targeting’ or ‘advertising’ cookies allow a website to show you relevant advertising or facilitate the use of third-party services. We may use these Cookies to provide information about your website visit to advertisers so that they can show advertisements more relevant to your interests, limit the number of times you see the same advertisement, and measure the effectiveness of their advertising. We may also use these Cookies to make it easier for you to “like” or “share” website content through your social network(s). Social networking sites may later use information about your visit to target advertising on those sites. Please see the site’s terms and policies for more information regarding such use. You can control whether or not Targeting or Advertising Cookies are used, but disabling them may mean that we cannot provide you with some services or features of the Website.
Own and third-party cookies
Cookies placed on your computer or device include “First Party” Cookies, i.e. Cookies that are placed there by us or third party service providers acting on our behalf. When these Cookies are being managed by third parties, we only allow them to use the Cookies for our purposes, as described in this Cookies Policy, and not for their own purposes.
Cookies placed on your computer or device may also include “Third Party” Cookies, i.e. Cookies that are placed there by third parties. These Cookies may include third-party advertisers who display advertisements on our site and/or social media providers who provide “like” or “share” features (see the section above on Targeting or Advertising Cookies). They may also include third parties that provide video content embedded on our website (such as YouTube). Please refer to the terms and policies of that third party’s website for more information about their use of Cookies.
