COOKIE NOTICE

This site uses cookies. By not accepting / blocking cookies, our website may not function fully or as intended

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A “cookie” is a piece of data, normally stored in text files, that is stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website; it is a way of information being “remembered” between webpages. Cookies are used by nearly all websites and often rely on them to perform certain features and functions.

By not accepting/blocking cookies, our website may not function fully or as intended.

Cookies are used to record how you move your way around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. They allow you to visit a website, then move around the website and stay “logged in”, and allow you to set preferences for the display of a page, and for these to be remembered the next time you return to it.

Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes

2. TYPES OF COOKIES & HOW WE USE THEM

2.1. A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs. By lifespan, a cookie is either a “session” or a “persistent” cookie. A “session” cookie is one that is erased when you close the browser. These are for essential site functions, and to make sure pages are sent to the browser as quickly and efficiently as possible. A “persistent” cookie can remain on your computer/ device for a pre-defined period of time. Analytics cookies are probably the most common form of persistent cookies.

a. Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively and therefore cannot be turned off.

b. Performance / Analytical cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our 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, and see which parts of the site are most popular.

c. Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember the choices you make and provide enhanced features. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog and logging in to your member area.

d. Secure cookies: These cookies are only transmitted via HTTPS (the prefix you see before the website URL (address).
