9. COOKIES

9.1 Our Website uses cookies to enhance the user experience. By using the Website and agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

9.2 A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be stored on your computer’s hard drive, mobile phone or other electronic device. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie records how you move around and use a website. Cookies can also be used to analyse website traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes. The website can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

9.3 Cookies may be either “persistent” or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie is stored by a web browser and remains valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before that date. A session cookie expires at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

9.4 Cookies may also be “first party” or “third party” cookies. First party cookies are placed on your computer by the website you are visiting. Third party cookies are instead placed on your computer through a third party website such as Google.

9.5 You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can usually modify your browser settings to block all cookies if you prefer, or to alert you when a cookie is being sent which enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not. However, some of the services and features offered through our Website may not function properly if your cookies are disabled (i.e. blocked).

9.7 We may use the following types of cookies on the Website:

(a) Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around our Website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These are first party cookies.

(b) Performance cookies. These cookies collect information in an anonymous form about how visitors use our Website and apps. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors, see how visitors move around the Website when they are using it and identify the regions that they are visiting from. These are first party cookies.

(c) Functionality cookies. These cookies allow our Website and apps to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information these cookies collect will be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These are first party cookies.

(d) Analytics. We use Google Analytics and other third party analytics services to collect and analyse statistics and generate reports about the Website. This helps us to better understand user patterns and improve the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website will be transmitted to and stored by third party analytics service providers which may be on servers outside of the European Economic Area. The information collected for this purpose will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers. These service providers may retain and use anonymised, aggregated data collected from users of our Website in connection with their own businesses, including in order to improve their products and services.

(e) Social media cookies. These third party cookies together with social media plug-ins allow you to use functionalities of social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on our Website. These are persistent cookies which will be kept on your device until their expiration or earlier manual deletion. If you use these functionalities, the plug-in and its content are loaded directly from the social media provider’s servers and included in the Website by your browser. If you log into your respective social media account at the time you interact with the social media plug-ins on our Website, the social media provider will connect this information with your social media user profile. We cannot influence which personal data the social media provider will collect about you. Please see their privacy policies for further information.
