Our Use of Cookies
Like many companies, some or all of our Websites may use "cookies". A Cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is placed on your devices' storage hardware when you visit certain websites. We may use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site. For more information on cookies, please see wikipedia.org.
Most of the cookies we use are "personalization cookies" which are used to recognize repeat visitors to the Websites and "analytics cookies" which monitor how visitors use our Websites and give us a better understanding of what content visitors are spending most time on reading. The types of cookies used on our Websites are as follows:
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential to enable you to receive a service on a website. For example, cookies to operate online shopping baskets, do your internet banking or to comply with the law (e.g. such as to keep your information safe).
Analytics/Performance
These cookies are used only to help us to improve our Websites over time, by giving us insights into how the various sections of the Websites are used and how users interact with the Websites, for example which pages visitors go to most often and whether they get error messages from web pages. The information collected is anonymous and statistical.
Session
These are cookies that are designed to ensure that your visits to the Websites are as smooth as possible. Their main uses are:
Allowing us to identify your device as you use the Website, so that you are not treated as a new visitor each time you go to another part of the Website;
Ensure that the servers that we use to power the website each serve an equal number of users, to help make everyone's browsing as swift and responsible as possible;
Noting your browser's capabilities.
We have listed below the specific cookies that we use and the purposes for which we use them.
