What are cookies?
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information downloaded to your device when you visit a website. On each subsequent visit, Cookies are sent back to the originating website or to another website that recognizes those cookies. Cookies are helpful because they help you navigate between pages efficiently, allow a website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, tailor websites to your interests, and generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
There are different types of cookies with various functions. For example, some cookies are allocated to your device only for the duration of your visit to a website, and these are called session-based cookies. These cookies automatically expire when you close down your browser. Another type of cookie, “persistent” cookies, would remain on your device for a set period. In addition, some websites contain third-party cookies, i.e., cookies placed by a third-party domain.
If you accept our cookies, you can also delete them later from your computer (see the ‘Managing Cookies’ section below). However, if you delete the cookies, any settings and preferences controlled by those cookies will be deleted and need to be recreated when you visit the website.
Categories of Cookies
We have categorized the cookies used on the website based on the ICC’s UK Cookie Guide. The categories are as follows:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure website areas. In addition, these cookies are necessary for services you have requested, like shopping baskets or e-billing, to be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not need to ask for your consent to use them.
Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, such as which pages visitors go to most often and whether they get error messages from web pages. They don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and, therefore, anonymous. It is only used to improve a website’s performance. In addition, some of these cookies are analytics cookies, set using third-party web analytics software, which allows us to understand more about how our website is used.
For example, some websites use Google Analytics cookies to help the owners monitor their website traffic, but those cookies do not collect information identifying a visitor. The owners of those websites may also use such cookies to highlight products and services they think will interest you based on your use of their websites.
Functionality cookies
These cookies allow websites to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region you are in) and provide enhanced and more personal features. For example, a website can provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing the region in which you are currently located in a cookie. These cookies can also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts, and other web page parts that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on websites other than those you visit.
Targeting or advertising cookies
These cookies are used to deliver adverts relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by other organizations.
Permitting us to use cookies
If your browser is adjusted to accept cookies, we take your continued use of our website to mean that you are OK with this. If you wish to deactivate cookies, you can learn how to do this below; however, doing so will likely mean your browser will not work as expected on most web pages.
Managing cookies
You can manage the cookies stored on your device by adjusting your web browser settings. If you do not want your browser to store cookies or to control which cookies it stores, most modern browsers will allow you to delete cookies that have already been set, block cookies, and change what cookies are stored in the future. Your browser’s ‘Help’ function should explain how to do this. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies, you may be unable to access some parts of the website, and some features may not function properly or be available.
Advertisements
We fund our website by showing adverts as you browse our website. These adverts are usually managed by a partner specializing in providing adverts for multiple websites. Invariably, these partners place cookies to collect anonymous data about the websites you visit so they can personalize the adverts for you, ensure that you don’t see the same adverts too frequently, and ultimately report to advertisers which adverts are working.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We reserve the right to change the information provided on this page at our discretion. In addition, any changes we may make to our Cookie Policy in the future will be posted on this page.
