Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are used to distinguish you from other users, to remember your preferences and settings, and to analyze how the site is performing. Cookies help us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website, and they also allow us to improve our site by understanding how visitors interact with it.
Types of Cookies Used on Our Website
Our website utilizes various types of cookies, each serving a specific function:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the operation of our website and enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you’ve asked for cannot be provided.
-
Performance Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We only use these cookies to improve how our website works.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) to provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertising networks.
Managing and Deleting Cookies
If you wish to manage, delete, or block cookies, you can do so using your browser’s settings. The ‘Help’ section in your browser’s menu will tell you how to configure your cookie preferences. Please note that if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts of the site or to benefit from the full functionality offered.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by us and others are set by third parties who deliver services on our behalf. However, we do not control these third-party cookies – for example, when you share content from our services with others through social media. We recommend that you check the relevant third-party website for information about their use of cookies.
Consent and Control
We respect your right to privacy and offer you the choice to opt-out or control the use of certain types of cookies. You can set or amend your cookie preferences at any time by visiting our Cookie Consent Tool, where you can decide which categories of cookies you allow on this website.
GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA, and UK GDPR Compliance
