What is a cookie?

Cookies are tiny text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then either deleted once used, or sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits and, in some cases, to another website that recognises that cookie.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve your web site experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

You can find more information about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org  or www.youronlinechoices.eu

Cookies are defined in four categories:

  • Category 1: strictly necessary cookies
  • Category 2: performance cookies
  • Category 3: functionality cookies
  • Category 4: targeting cookies or advertising cookies

Category 1 – Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies services the website cannot function.

By using our website and online services, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

Category 2 – Performance cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to help us to improve how our website is found and works.

By using our website and online services, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

Category 3 – Functionality cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, address language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features such as pre-filling a form fields.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

By using our website and online services, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your device.

Category 4 – targeting cookies or advertising cookies

These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as 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 organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

Our site does not use this type of cookie.

However, we do have links to other web sites. Once you access another site through a link that we have provided, it is the responsibility of that site to provide information as to how they use cookies on the respective site.
