Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are stored on your computer, mobile phone or tablet when you visit a website.
When you visit our website, we use cookies to collect information such as the device and browser you are using, your IP address, the previous website you visited and your browsing behaviour.
Cookies can stay on your device for different periods of time.
Some cookies are called "session cookies". These cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser or when your session ends.
Other cookies are called "persistent cookies" and are stored on your device until you delete them or your browser clears them when the cookie reaches its expiration date.
"First-party cookies" are stored directly on your device by the website you are visiting. We use first-party cookies to remember things like your language settings to improve your experience of using our site and to support some of its basic functions.
"Third-party cookies" are stored on your device by another company or domain when you visit our website, for example service providers, social media platforms, and third-party advertising companies.
These companies can use these cookies and the data they collect to know which sites you visit so they can deliver targeted adverts to you on behalf of their customers.
Please be aware that some content on our website may be provided by a third party who may set their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your device when you visit some of our webpages.
We take the privacy of the visitors to our website very seriously. We will only use cookies in accordance with your preferences and we explain in this notice and our cookies management page the cookies we use and why. Depending on the reasons for why we use certain cookies, we may not use these cookies on all of our webpages.
We use the following types of cookies and technologies.
Essential cookies are needed to support the operation of our website. They make the core functionality and important functions like security measures work.
We do not need to ask for your permission to use them.
You may be able to disable them by changing your browser settings. This may affect how the website works and some functions may not work.
Please note: if you accept only "essential cookies" you may still see third party trackers that are enabled by services we use on our website, including Google components like reCAPTCHA.
This is because these services may also use tracking technologies that they have classified as essential.
The following categories of cookies (Functional, Performance and Marketing) will be blocked if you choose to refuse the use of cookies on our website (see the “How to change your preferences” section).
These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our website, which enables us to personalise your visit and remember your preferences, for example, your choice of language.

These cookies help us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our website and to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve their experience.
These cookies are also used by us and our service providers to collect analytics and information to compile reports, which helps us to improve and optimise the performance of our website.
Without these cookies, we cannot evaluate the performance of our site or make improvements.
We are not currently using marketing cookies.
You can change your preferences at any time using our cookies management page.
