Cookie Policy

Cookies
To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too. Strictly necessary cookies are set so that the site functions. All other cookies - including analytics and marketing cookies - are set only after you accept them through our cookie banner, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie-settings icon on the site.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer.
How do we use cookies?
As set forth in our Privacy Statement, we use cookies to make the site work and keep you signed in, to remember your preferences and your cookie choices, to measure and improve how the site is used (analytics), and, where you have consented, to support our marketing campaigns. We will not use cookies for purposes not set forth in this policy.
A current, automatically updated list of the specific cookies used on this site - including each cookie’s name, provider, purpose and duration - is shown in the cookie declaration on this page.

Types of cookies we use
We use different types of cookies on our website:
• Session cookies — allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. On our site they are used for purposes such as keeping you signed in and maintaining security as you move between pages. These session cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored longer term. For this reason session cookies may sometimes be considered less privacy intrusive than persistent cookies.
• Persistent cookies — are stored on a users’ device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising.
• First and third party cookies — Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited by the user - the website displayed in the URL window. Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie.
