What Are Cookies:

We and our business partners collect information about your use of our website through cookies. Cookies are information files stored on your computer, tablet or smartphone that help websites remember who you are and information about your visit. Cookies can help to display the information on a website in a way that matches your interests. Most major websites use cookies.

What Cookies Are Used on This Website:

The cookies and other tracking technologies we and our business partners use on this website are broadly grouped into the following categories:

Essential – Some of the cookies on our website are essential for us to be able to provide you with a service you have requested. These cookies are required to enable our website to work correctly or to comply with applicable law – for example, to allow you to navigate our website and use essential features or to ensure that our website is secure. You may not be able to use our website without these cookies.

Analytics – We use analytics cookies to helps us understand how users engage with our website. An example is counting the number of different people coming to our website or using a particular feature, rather than the total number of times the site or feature is used. Without this cookie, if you visited the website once each week for three weeks we would count you as three separate users. We would find it difficult to analyze how well our website was performing and improve it without these cookies.

Functional – We use cookies to improve your experience by remembering your preferences so we know how you like to use our website. Examples of this would be remembering you so that you are served with the same content or to remember you when you come back to the site.

Social – We use third-party cookies to allow you to share content directly on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to improve your experience by remembering your preferences so we know how you like to use our website – for example, if you wanted to “like” or “tweet” about us or our products or services.

Interest-Based Advertising – You will have noticed that when you visit websites you will be shown ads for products and services you may wish to buy. To try and ensure that the ads you see are relevant to you third party cookies may be used to collect information about the types of things that interest you -- for example, websites you visit and the geography that you are based in. Having these cookies does not increase the number of ads you will be shown, but simply makes the ads you see more relevant. Please see our “Third Party Cookies” section below for more details.
