Cookie Policy

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit a website or application. The website or application may retrieve these cookies from your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) each time you visit, so they can recognize you, remember your preferences and provide you with a more secure online experience.

Generally, cookies are a common and useful method to help to make your online experience as smooth as possible. For security reasons, many websites will not function at all without the use of cookies or other similar technologies, such as "web beacons" or "tags".

Cookies generally do not hold any information to identify an individual person, but are instead used to identify a browser on an individual machine. Cookies can be referred to as session cookies or persistent cookies, depending on how long they are used. Session cookies only last for your online session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your computer or device after the browser has been closed and last for the period of time specified in the cookie. These persistent cookies may be checked each time you visit the site where the cookie was generated or, in the case of third party cookies, from another site that also uses the same service.

WEB BEACONS

Web beacons are a similar technology to cookies; and just like cookies, they can help to deliver an improved online experience. Essentially, they are a clear picture file that is used to keep track of a customer's navigation through a website or series or websites.

They may also be referred to as "tags", and are normally used by websites that use third party traffic monitoring and tracking services, such as web analytics. Web beacons can be used in combination with cookies to gain an understanding of how a website's users navigate through the site.

TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

Below, we list the various types of cookies we use and the purposes they perform. Please note that the specific cookies we may use vary depending on the part of our Site you visit.

Necessary cookies

These cookies are essential in helping you to make use of the features and services we offer on our Site. Without these cookies, the services you want to use (such as managing a device) cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used to identify you, and they do not monitor or remember other websites you have visited.

Functional cookies

Performance cookies

Performance cookies help us to understand how our customers use our Site, so we can keep our Products relevant, easy to use and up to date. For example, we can see which Products are most popular, identify when and where errors occur, and test different versions of a page in order to provide an improved online experience.

Sometimes, the services we use to collect this information may be operated by other companies on our behalf. They may use similar technologies to cookies, known as "web beacons" or "tags". These are anonymous and, as they are only used for statistical purposes, they do not contain or collect any Personal Information.

COOKIES ARE USED ON THIS WEBSITE

We set some cookies directly, and we also make use of some services which set their own cookies. We believe it is important to be clear about any cookies that are being set, so we have provided a list to explain this to you.

These are cookies set by us, and are often referred to as first-party cookies. You will not necessarily see all of the cookies referenced below stored on your machine after visiting our Site. Some will depend on how you got here and the features and Products that you viewed during your visit.

Although we audit the types of cookies that are used on our Site, it is possible that the services we use may make changes to their cookie names and purposes. Some services, particularly social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, change their cookies regularly. Although we always aim to show you up-to-date information, we may not be able to reflect these changes in our Cookie Policy immediately.
