    2. What is a cookie?

    A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on a visitor’s computer or mobile device. The information in this Cookies Policy will explain why we use cookies and the different types of cookies used. 

    3. Why do we use cookies?

    We use different types of cookies on our website for different reasons, but we primarily use cookies for technical reasons to improve the user experience, or for analytics of website traffic. Cookies can improve the user experience, for example, by storing user preferences about our website. 

     The data we collect using cookies helps us understand our customers better so that we can provide a more focused user experience. By using the knowledge of your previous visits to our website we can enhance your subsequent visits by suggesting content to match your requirements. 

    4. First-party and third-party cookies

    Cookies are classified, on the basis of who creates them, as first-party cookies or third-party cookies. 

    First-party cookies are created by the host domain and are used to add to the user experience. These cookies contain only the information that you enter on the host website and your IP address. Importantly, the data collected by first-party cookies is only available to the website owner. 

    Third-party cookies are created by parties other than the website owner. These cookies tend to be more commercial and are used for cross-site tracking, retargeting and ad serving.  

    We use both first-party cookies and third-party cookies on our website. We use third-party cookies on our website to assist with analytics and communication activities but do not use these cookies for advertising purposes. The third-party cookies used on our website are set out in Annex A to this Cookies Policy. 

    5. What types of cookies do we use? 

    The types of cookies we use fall into one of the categories listed below. Please refer to Annex B of this Cookie Policy for a detailed list of cookies we use and which appear on our website.  

    Strictly Necessary

    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. They allow you to navigate back and forth between pages without losing your previous actions from the same session. Since these cookies are necessary for the functionality of our website, we do not need to ask for your consent to use them. 

    Functional

    These cookies allow a website to remember your site preferences and choices you make on the site including username, region, and language. This allows the website to provide personalized features like local news stories and weather if you share your location and boost your overall user experience on our website. The data collected via these cookies is anonymous and these cookies do not track browsing activity across other websites. Similarly to strictly necessary cookies, we do not need to ask for your consent to use these cookies. 

    Performance

    Performance cookies are cookies used specifically for gathering data on how visitors use our website, which pages of our website are visited most often and whether the users get error messages on web pages. These cookies monitor only the performance of the website as the user interacts with it. These cookies do not collect identifiable information on visitors, which means all the data collected is anonymous and only used to improve the functionality of our website. We also use these cookies to gather statistical data on how our website is performing in order to make improvements. Despite the anonymity of the data collected we will seek your consent to the use of these cookies.

Once the expiration date is reached, the cookie is destroyed. Persistent cookies track visitors as they move around our website to figure out what users like about the website to help improve the user experience. We will seek your consent to the use of these cookies. 

    Session

    The session cookie is a server-specific cookie that cannot be passed to any machine other than the one that generated the cookie. The session cookie allows the browser to re-identify itself to the single, unique server to which you had previously authenticated. The session key stored in the session cookie contains only a random number identifier that is used to index the server's session cache. There is no other information exposed in the session cookie. We will seek your consent to the use of these cookies.
