  1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded and may be stored on your user device e.g. your computer (or other internet enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet). We may use similar techniques, such as pixels, web beacons, device fingerprints, etc. For the sake of consistency, all these techniques combined will hereafter be referred to as ‘cookies’.

This Cookie Policy provides you with information about the cookies we use and why. Our Privacy Policy sets out full details of the personal data we may collect and how we may use your personal information.

  1. Cookies used on the Website

We use ‘strictly necessary’ cookies to operate the Website (these are set by default). By clicking ‘Accept’ on the cookie banner that is presented to you when you visit our Website, you give your consent to us placing and/or reading additional ‘analytical’ and ‘advertising’ cookies. Some of the cookies we use are session cookies that are temporary and allow us to link your actions during a browser session. Session cookies are erased when you close the browser. Other cookies are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for the period of time specified in the cookie. In Annex 1, you will find a description of each of these three types of cookie and their purpose, as well as the specific cookies we use.

  1. Control your cookie settings

You have the option to consent to our use of the different categories of cookies by clicking ‘Set Preferences’ in the cookie banner. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by navigating to the cookie preferences centre in the footer of the Website, or the cookie icon at the bottom left hand side of each page.

Besides using the ‘Set Preferences’ hyperlink on our Website, you can manage your cookie settings in your browser at any time. Please be aware that your browser settings may not offer you the same ease of use as the cookie preferences centre on our Website. If you simply disable all cookies in your browsers settings, you may find that certain sections or features of our Website will not work, because your browser may prevent us from setting functionally required cookies. Therefore, it is recommended to use the cookie preferences centre on our Website instead of disabling all cookies via your web browser. The following links may assist you in managing your cookies settings, or you can use the 'Help' option in your internet browser for more details.
