2 What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which is downloaded to your device when you visit a website or use an app.
3 Why do we use cookies?
Cookies help us to distinguish you from other users and to see how you interact with our website, apps or other digital service. This information can help us to improve our website, apps or other digital service and surface website content based on your previous browsing behaviour.
4 What type of cookies do we use?
We use the following types of cookies:
Analytical and performance cookies
We may use analytics service providers for website or app traffic analysis and reporting. These providers use cookies to generate statistical and other information about how you use our website or app. The analytics generated include the number of visitors to the site or app, how long they stay and how they navigate the site or app. This helps us to improve the way our website or apps works. The analytics generated may be used to create reports about the use of our site or apps and the analytics service provider will also store this information.
Advertising and targeting cookies
We may use cookies such as the Google AdWords tracking cookie to advertise online. This cookie uses information about you and your browsing behaviour on our site or app to serve relevant adverts across the Google Display Network. You can opt out of Google’s AdWords cookies at any time by changing your preferences in Google’s Ad settings.
Functionality cookies
We may use functional cookies that remember choices you have made when browsing our site or app. We are then able to provide a more personalised and enhanced user experience by delivering content related to your interests.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the administration and operation of our website, app or other digital service. Some cookies that we use are necessary for our site, app or other digital service to function properly and to enable you to navigate and use its features.
Third party cookies
Third party cookies are cookies that exist on our website, app or other digital service but originate from different domains. For example, we encourage visitors to share our content on various social networks. We add buttons to allow people to share easily to those networks. When we include these social 'plugins', it gives those sites the flexibility to use cookies. They can't read any cookies we set from our website, app or other digital service and we can't read any cookies they set.
Other websites, apps and other digital services (e.g. advertising networks, web traffic analysis services and content recommendation engines) may also use cookies. We have no control over these cookies and you can find out more about them by checking the third party providers’ websites. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
