Cookie Strategy Guidelines

We use cookies (a small piece of computer code that we store for a period of time on your computer or mobile device) when you visit our sites in order to make the sites work better for you. The data we collect using cookies helps us understand our customers better so that we can provide a more focused user experience. Using the knowledge of your previous visits to our sites, we can enhance subsequent visits by tailoring our content to match your requirements. We use cookies principally because we want to make our sites and mobile applications user-friendly, and we are interested in anonymous user behaviour. Generally, our cookies don’t store sensitive or personally identifiable information such as your name and address or credit card details. In the unlikely event that our sites use cookies to store personal information about you, we encrypt the personal data to prevent unauthorised use by anyone else. Here’s a list of the main types of cookies we use, and what we use them for.

Identifying Cookies on Our Website

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.

Granting us permission to use cookies

You can set your browser to accept or decline cookies. Most browsers automatically accept them, but you can modify settings to decline cookies if preferred. Disabling cookies may affect how our website functions and your overall experience.
