About cookies and how we use them

Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or other device when you visit our website. The cookies are then used to gather information about your use of a site or in some cases, to allow you to be recognised as an existing user when returning to our website.

In general terms, cookies can be categorised into the following broad categories:

Strictly necessary cookies: cookies required for the operation of the website. They include cookies, for example, to allow you to log in to secure website areas, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.

Analytical/performance cookies: these are cookies which allow a website operator to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around a website. They help improve the way websites work, for example, by ensuring that users easily find what they are looking for.

Functionality cookies: these allow a returning user and his/her preferences to be recognised. This means that the website can then present personalised content.

Targeting cookies: these types of cookies record visits to a website, the pages visited and the links followed. These cookies are used to tailor content.

We use cookies which are necessary for the performance of our site and to recognise returning users. We also use cookies for analytical site performance and for marketing purposes including to assess interest in a site property and for marketing analytics. We also use a third party service provider to analyse the traffic to, and use of, our website and that service provider also uses cookies and other similar tracking devices.

Please note that where we provide links to other websites, such as the links we provide to our social media pages, those third party websites may also use cookies and you should familiarise yourself with the cookies information that they provide on their own websites. We are not responsible for any cookies used on third party websites to which we may provide links.
