What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use (i.e., the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used), and how to manage your cookie settings.
Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded in your browser. These cookies help us make the website function properly, keep it secure, provide a better user experience, and help us understand how the website performs so we can analyse what works and where it needs improvement.
How do we use cookies?
Like most online services, our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function correctly, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertising that is relevant to you, and, all in all, providing you with a better and improved user experience and helping to speed up your future interactions with our website.
Cookie categories explained
Strictly necessary cookies — Required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log in to secure areas, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services.
Analytical or performance cookies — Allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around our website when using it. This helps us improve the way our website works (for example, by ensuring users can find what they need easily).
Functionality cookies — Used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Targeting cookies — Record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
Types of Cookies we use
