Cookie Policy

We have developed this cookie policy (the “Cookie Policy”) in order to explain how we use cookies and similar technologies (together, “Cookies”) on this website (our “Website”), and to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of your personal information.

The first time that you visit our Website, we notify you about our use of Cookies through a notification banner. By continuing to use our Website, you consent to our use of Cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. However, you can choose whether or not to continue accepting Cookies at any later time.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing user IDs that are automatically placed on your computer or other device when you visit a website. The Cookies are stored by the internet browser. The browser sends the Cookies back to the website on each subsequent visit, allowing the website to recognise your computer or other device. This recognition enables the website provider to observe your activity on the website, deliver a personalised, responsive service and improve the website. Cookies can be Session Cookies or Persistent Cookies. Session Cookies allow a website to link a series of your actions during one browser session, for example to remember the items you have added to a shopping basket. Session Cookies expire after a browser session and are therefore not stored on your computer or other device afterwards. Persistent Cookies are stored on your computer or other device between browser sessions and can be used when you make subsequent visits to the website, for example to remember your website preferences, such as language or font size.
