1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile, or other) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies may be set by us (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties (“third-party cookies”).
Cookies can perform various functions, such as:
remembering your preferences and settings,
enabling core site functionality and security,
collecting analytics data about how users interact with the site,
supporting marketing, advertising, or social media features.
2. Types of cookies we use
On our Website, we may use the following categories of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the operation of the Website. They enable basic functions such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the Website cannot properly function. These cannot be disabled via our cookie mechanism.
Performance / Analytics cookies: These collect anonymous data on how visitors use our site (which pages are visited most, error messages, etc.), so we can improve the site’s performance and usability. These can be disabled (see “Your choices” below).
Functionality cookies: These help provide enhanced functionality (e.g. remembering your preferences such as language, login status, or customizations). These are optional; disabling them may reduce your experience.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
To operate and secure the Website (for example login sessions, anti-fraud, preventing abuse)
To remember your preferences and settings (so you don’t need to re-enter them each time)
To analyse how our Website is used, so we can improve it (e.g. which pages perform well, where users drop off)
To deliver marketing, advertising, or content tailored to you (via third parties)
To manage and track performance and effectiveness of our marketing efforts
