Cookie Policy

 

This website (the “Site”) uses cookies. We use the term “cookie” to describe cookies and similar technologies such as tags and pixels. Cookies are small data files that websites place on your computer, laptop or mobile device. This policy helps to explain when, how and why we use cookies, and how you can block and delete them.

 

how do COOKIES work?

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first party cookies) or they may be set by third parties that we select to work with (third party cookies). Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to remember you, either for the duration of your visit (using a session cookie) or for repeat visits (using a persistent cookie).

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies can make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognize you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.

OUR USE OF COOKIES

We use Cookies for the following purposes:

  • To improve the performance of our websites by understanding which parts work well, and which don't.
  • To enable us to collect information about how you and other people use our websites.
  • To improve your experience on our websites and to personalise your experience.
  • To measure how effective our online advertising and marketing communications are.
  • To deliver relevant online advertising to you both on our websites and elsewhere. This is sometimes done by combining data that we already have about you with the data collected through Cookies. These Cookies are placed by us and selected third parties and enable adverts to be presented to you on third party websites.

We never sell the information collected by cookies.
