OUR COOKIE POLICY
Welcome to our website. We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, plug-ins, tags and similar technologies to ensure our website functions properly, improve your online experience, collect data to allow us and our partners to analyse website traffic, present you with marketing and measure the success of our marketing.
What are cookies and the other technologies we use?
Cookies
Cookies are small text files generated by a website that are stored to your browser directory or the hard drive of your computer or mobile device so they can be retrieved by the website at a later date. Such storage allows the website to communicate with your browser directory or hard drive to allow us to present certain website functionality to you, remember your preferences and carry out certain other functions, as further detailed below.
Cookies are used to perform many different roles. You can find more information about the individual cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them in the table below. Some cookies (known as session cookies) are created temporarily and are deleted when you leave our website. Other cookies (known as persistent cookies) allow your device to be recognised by, and communicate with, our website on subsequent visits to our website.
Web beacons or Pixels
Web beacons or Pixels are small pieces of code contained either within our website or an email from us and are typically provided by third parties. The piece of code allows data regarding your interaction with our website or an email from us to be sent to the third party that set the web beacons or pixels.
Local Storage
Local storage is a technology that allows us to store data in your web browser and such data will remain in your web browser even once you leave our website and close your browser.
Plug-ins
Plug-ins are pieces of software code that allow us to embed certain social media tools (such as share, follow and like buttons) into our website. If you click on any such tools, the provider of that tool may store a cookie on your device or browser and certain information about you (such as your IP address) may be automatically shared with the provider of the tool.
Tags
Tags are small pieces of software code, often provided by a third party such as an advertising network, that are incorporated to our website. Tags will collect data (which may include personal data) about your use of the website and share it with the third party that provided the tag. Collection of data in this way can be used to present personalised adverts and marketing to you and track the effectiveness of that marketing.
For the purpose of this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.
Personal Data
Cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, plug-ins and tags may be used to collect personal data, or combined with other information we hold to create personal data, regarding your interactions with our website and emails, and this personal data may be shared with our partners. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information regarding how we handle your personal data together with (where applicable) the privacy policy of the third party that sets the cookies (as set out below). Where we refer to N/A in final column of the tables below, this means that it is our Privacy Policy that applies to the processing of any personal collected via such cookie.
Where we refer in this Cookie Policy to personal data, we are referring to information relating to or about you.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our website to function, and are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in to secure areas of our website, or filling in forms.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This means that we may use cookies to collect online identifiers about your use of our website, including Technical Data, which we may use for the purpose of better understanding our customers and your use of our website.
Manage Cookies
You can choose which cookies you accept using our cookies management tool available when you first visit our website or at all times in the footer of our website or by managing your preferences within your browser settings. You can choose to “Reject All”, however, you may not then be able to access all or parts of our website.
You can change your browser settings to switch cookies off or alert you about cookies, but all or some of our website may then not work. Please follow the relevant links below for further information regarding how you can manage your cookie preferences using your browser settings:
