Cookie Policy

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device.  They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work in a better, more efficient way.  They can do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient (for example by remembering preference settings).

WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

Below we list the different types of cookies that may be used on the website. Note that to the extent information collected through cookies constitutes personal information, the provisions in the Privacy Policy apply and complement this Cookie Policy.

Essential Cookies. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to work and enable you to move around it and to use its services and features.  Without these absolutely necessary cookies, the website will not perform as smoothly for you as we would like it to and we may not be able to provide the Site or certain services or features you request.

Social Media Cookies.  Such cookies are used to track members [and non-members] of social media networks for market research analytics, product development, and to serve relevant promotions.

Analytics Cookies.  Analytics cookies collect information about your use of the website, and enable us to improve the way it works.  For example, analytics cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on the website, help us record any difficulties you have with the website, and show us whether our advertising is effective or not.  This allows us to see the overall patterns of usage on the website, rather than the usage of a single person.

Marketing Cookies.   Marketing cookies are used to target advertising to a user (behavioural targeting). They are often served by third party companies, and track a user across websites.
