Introduction
We believe in being transparent with our users about how we collect and use their data. To find out more about this and about us as a data controller, you can read our Privacy Policy.
This Cookie Policy is aimed at making it clear how, when and why we use cookies. For information on how to delete or block cookies, please see the section How can I change my cookie settings? below. Before you take any action regarding cookies, we advise you to read this policy.
Our use of cookies
Any browser visiting our website will receive cookies from us. Insofar as the cookies we use are not strictly necessary for the provision of this website, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies when you first visit.
We use cookies so that all of our users can have the best possible on-site experience. Information provided via cookies makes it possible to optimise your experience. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to information obtained from cookies.
About cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language and display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them. Other technologies, including data we store on your browser or device and identifiers associated with your device, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.
By lifespan
- Session cookies — erased when you close the browser; they only last for the current visit or browser session.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a pre-defined period (unless you delete them) and help us recognise you on your return.
By domain
- First-party cookies — set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain.
- Third-party cookies — stored by a different domain to the visited page's domain.
Which cookies do we use and what is their purpose?
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for our website to work effectively. They enable basic functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas, and may be used to protect and accelerate the website. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. If you block them, some parts of the website may not work.
Preference and functionality cookies
Preference cookies enable the website to remember information that changes the way it behaves or looks — for instance your preferred language or region.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously, such as the number of visitors, where they came from, the pages they visit and time spent on site. We use this information to compile reports and improve the website. For this purpose we rely on an internal analytics system and third-party analytics services. All data is presented in an aggregated and/or pseudonymised form.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and to display advertising that is relevant and engaging. For this we use advertising and conversion-tracking services that help us measure campaign performance and deliver advertising that corresponds to your interests.
Third party cookies
Third parties may set cookies when you visit our website — for example when we have engaged them to provide services on our behalf, or when our pages contain content from third parties. Third party tracking cookies may also be necessary for the effective use of affiliate links and the performance of affiliate agreements we have in place.
How can I change my cookie settings?
You may at any time choose to disable some or all of the cookies. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Limiting cookies may worsen your user experience, as the site will no longer be personalised to you. To disable cookies from our website, change your browser settings on the device you use — instructions are available in the help section of your browser.
Where we use third-party analytics, advertising or conversion-tracking services, you can also adjust or opt out of tracking via the relevant provider's own controls and via your browser settings.
Changes to the Cookie Policy
We may need to amend this Cookie Policy from time to time due to changing technical and business needs or to comply with applicable data protection law. If we make essential modifications, we will notify you and, where required, ask you to consent to the updated Policy. Minor modifications (such as organisational or grammatical changes) do not affect your rights, and your continued use of our services means the updated Policy applies.
