What are cookies?
We use cookies on our website (the “Site”). A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server.
We may also use other forms of technology (such as web beacons) which serve a similar purpose to cookies and which allow us to monitor and improve the Site and our email communications. We use these in connection with cookies to help operate our websites and email communications and collect information about online activity. When we talk about cookies in this Cookies Notice, this term includes these similar technologies. If you would like more information about our privacy practices, please consult our Privacy Notice.
Why do we use these technologies?
We use cookies for a number of purposes:
- To make the Site work correctly. We use these cookies to enable you to move around the Site and to use its features; and
- To analyse and improve your browsing experience. With your consent, we use these cookies such as Google Analytics to analyse usage of the Site and interaction with our content and communication, so we can measure and improve performance.
To learn more about your options for not having this information used by certain service providers, visit our Cookie Settings tool. Opting out of this practice does not opt you out of being served advertising — you will continue to receive generic ads.
How do we manage these technologies?
Our cookies are set to expire after a specific time period.
You may also set your browser to block all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, although our services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
To find out how to control or disable cookies within most browsers, or to learn more about cookies, consult the “Help” section of your browser or device or visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
