What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file that is placed and stored on your browser or device by a platform. Cookies allow a website owner to distinguish the activities carried out from your device from other users of that website. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser or device if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites.

How do we use cookies and our types of cookies?

Our website uses different types of cookies. Cookies can be categories based on several attributes: Session cookies exist just for your session on our websites and persistent cookies exist for a period of time after your visit. First party cookies are cookies set by our websites and third-party cookies are set by third party platforms. We utilise first party session and persistent cookies.

We also use cookies for different purposes. To better understand this, we've provided a more detailed explanation of the types of cookies we use below categorised by the purpose of the cookies.

How can I reject cookies and/or delete existing cookies?

You can update and change your cookie preferences in your browser, and, in some cases, in your devices too. You can set your browsers or devices to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised features cannot then be provided to you and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the website's features. Each browser is different, so check the ‘help’, 'options', 'preferences' or similar menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

You can also visit aboutcookies.org which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers. This site includes details on how to delete cookies from your computer as well as more general information about cookies.

We do not recommend turning cookies off when visiting our websites as this could decrease the quality of your user experience and certain parts or functions of our websites might not work properly. Please also note that if you delete your cookies we may no longer automatically recognise your preferences, such as language and country preferences, any previous consent to terms and conditions or any opt outs. 

Updates

We may amend our Cookie Policy from time to time to keep it up to date with legal requirements and the way we operate our websites. If we decide to change our Cookie Policy, we will place any updates on our websites, such as this webpage. Please regularly check this webpage and the Cookie Policy of any relevant websites for the latest version of our Cookie Policy.
