COOKIE POLICY

Last updated September 2024

Our Website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that is placed by us or our marketing partners on your hard drive by a web page server. Our cookies do not run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to your computer.

Why do we use them?

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenient feature to save you time. The cookie tells the server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise the Website pages, or register with the Website, a cookie helps the Website recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal data, such as your billing address or site preferences. When you return to the Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Website features that you customised.

What kind of cookies do we use?

We may place the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Website. They include, for example, cookies that enable videos and data visualisations to work across the Website or make use of e-billing services.
  • Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to the Website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, not prompting you to sign up to our newsletter every time you visit the Website).
  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to the Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We do not usually place this type of cookie, but if we do, we use this information to make our Website more relevant to your interests and for marketing as described below.

If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be done within your browser settings. Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control.
