Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. This policy explains what cookies are, the different types of cookies, how we use them and most importantly how to control or delete our cookies. You do not have to accept cookies but without accepting them you may experience reduced website functionality.
When do we use cookies?
We collect information from you when you visit our website. Our website automatically collects information from your computer using “cookies” which provides us with limited personal information. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or other device by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners.
You can set your browser not to accept cookies and this document tells you how to remove cookies from your browser (see the section below “Can you turn cookies off”). However, in a few cases some of our website features may not function as a result.
How we use cookies
The cookies we use can be split into the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are essential to provide our services to you. Without these, our website and other digital services may not work correctly or you may experience issues when using certain features.
Analytical cookies: we use our own data and working with third parties to better understand how visitors use our websites and services. These cookies allow us to collect anonymous information for our own analysis in line with our privacy policy.
Functionality cookies: these cookies enable us to remember information that changes the way the website looks, such as your preferred language or the region that you are in. The information these cookies collect cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies may persist so that your choices are remembered when you visit our website again.
What cookies do we use?
We use both our own cookies (often referred to as first-party cookies) and cookies from other service providers (third-party cookies). With third party cookies, they may collect personal data for the purpose we work with them. Whilst we cannot be responsible for the accuracy of content on the third party website, we have included a link for further information on each in the table below.
With some third party cookies, we can’t control the setting of these cookies such as pages that have embedded YouTube videos and you may be sent cookies from these other services. For more information about how to manage these cookies, please refer to their website to understand more.
Our use of cookies
We use “Necessary” cookies to make our website work, for example [by setting the appropriate language version of the website for you,] for security authentication, network management, and accessibility. We do not require your consent to use these necessary cookies, but you can disable them if you prefer by changing your browser settings as explained below, although doing so will likely mean that our site will not work as you would expect.
We do not set other optional types of cookies (performance, functionality, advertising, targeting) on your device unless you consent by enabling them [through the [pop up] which appears on your first visit to this website; this will set a cookie on your device to remember your preferences, so the pop up will not usually automatically reappear on subsequent visits.]
You may withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions below.
