ABOUT COOKIES

This Cookie Notice describes the types of cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on our services via our websites and apps, how we use them, and what your choices are for controlling cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as beacons, scripts, web beacons and tags (which together we refer to as “cookies”), are small bits of text, usually stored on a user's computer hard drive or within a browser. They enable a website to remember information about the user's visit to the website. On mobile websites and mobile applications, we use device IDs and / or Advertising IDs in a similar manner to which we use cookies.

○ Cookies: Our Approach and Their Purpose

We use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • Targeting Cookies. 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 and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
  • Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

○ Advanced Cookie Management

You can reject cookies by modifying your browser settings to refuse cookies. If you disable cookies, you might not be able to use certain parts of our site effectively. Unless your browser is set to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you access our site. Be aware that third-party websites linked from our site may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

○ Further Regulations

Email Interaction Tracking

Our emails may use a "web beacon pixel" to determine if they have been opened and to track interactions with content. This data is used to gauge the relevance of our communications. You can avoid this tracking by disabling image downloads or viewing emails in text-only mode.

○ Policy Updates

Our approach to using cookies and local storage may shift over time, reflecting new technologies or changes in our service delivery. Although the specifics of the cookies we use may vary, they typically adhere to the categories previously outlined. Regular reviews of this page are recommended to keep you informed of any changes.
