A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences, or what is in your checkout cart. Using our website will result in us placing cookies on your computer or device in the three categories set out below.
Strictly Necessary – These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such accessing secure areas of the site. Many of the functions on our site will not work properly, or not at all, if you do not allow these cookies to be used. We may therefore be unable to provide many of the services you may wish to request unless you accept the use of these cookies.
Performance – These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and is therefore anonymous. The information is only used to improve how the website and its features work.
Functionality – These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features (for example, remembering changes you have made to text size and fonts).
If you reside outside the European Economic Area, we also use a fourth type of cookie for targeting or advertising.
Targeting or Advertising – We sometimes partner with third parties to deliver more relevant advertisements and to compile web statistics. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to monitor your visits to both our website and other websites. They monitor your online behavior and identify website usage, helping advertisers show you advertising and content that is more relevant to you. Some examples of what targeting and advertising cookies do: provide advertisers with information about your visit to our website so they can show you advertising that is relevant to you; limit the number of times you see an advertisement; help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. None of these cookies store personally identifiable information.
