We may also use “cookies” and your personal information to enhance your experience on the Website, Platform and with the Services and to provide you with personalized offers. A cookie is a small data file placed on your computer's hard drive that contains information that allows us to track your activity on the Website (Platform). The cookie itself does not contain any personal information; however, if you provide us with any personal information the cookie may act as an identifier to tie your personal information to your IP address or computer. You may choose to delete cookies from your computer's hard drive at any time or to disable cookies on your computer. If you delete cookies that relate to the Website, we may not be able to identify you upon your return to the Website.

We also share website usage information about our Website (Platform) with those interested in running targeted promotional campaigns on the Website.

What types of cookies do we use?

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies
  • These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

  • Performance Cookies
  • These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

  • Functional Cookies
  • These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

  • Targeting Cookies
  • These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

How long do cookies last?

None of our cookies last forever. You can always choose to delete cookies from your computer at any time. Even if you do not delete them yourself, our cookies are set to expire automatically after some time. Some cookies will be deleted as soon as you close your browser (so called “session cookies”), some cookies will stay on your device until you delete them or they expire (so called “persistent cookies”). You can see from the table below the lifespan of each type of cookie that we use; session cookies are those marked with 0 days expiration, all other cookies are persistent and you can see the number of days they last before they automatically expire. The expiration periods work on a rolling basis, i.e. each time you visit our website again, the period restarts.

_hjTLDTestWhen the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname.
