What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve security, remember preferences, measure usage and, in some cases, support personalised content or advertising.
Cookies may be:
- session cookies, which expire when you close your browser; or
- persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a longer period or until deleted.
We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs and local storage, for similar purposes. In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as cookies, unless the context requires otherwise.
Why we use cookies
We may use cookies to:
- enable the Site to function properly;
- maintain security and prevent misuse;
- remember your preferences and choices;
- understand how visitors use the Site and improve its performance;
- support embedded content or third-party services; and
- where applicable, measure the effectiveness of content, campaigns or communications.
Legal basis for the use of cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of the Site or otherwise fall within an applicable legal exception. These cookies do not require consent and are always active.
For all other cookies, we will request your consent before placing them on your device, unless a relevant legal exception applies.
Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, we process that personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
Categories of cookies we may use
We use the following cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them. 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. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
- Analytical or performance cookies. These 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.
- Functionality cookies. 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).
- Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
How long cookies remain on your device
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 are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Others remain on your device until they expire or are deleted by you.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, the technologies we use, our legal obligations or our business practices.
