This website, and / or social media sites (“Sites”) uses cookies to improve the Sites performance and enhance the user experience. This policy explains how this is done. By continuing to browse the Sites, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

What Are Cookies? 
Cookies are small files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website to recognise your device the next time you visit. Cookies serve many functions. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.

Cookies contain personal information. Most cookies do not collect information that identifies you and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location.

Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies 
These are required for the operation of the Sites. For example, to remember the previous actions so you can navigate back to previous pages.

These cookies are essential in order to move around the Sites and use their features, such as accessing areas of the Sites. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets, cannot be provided

Category 2: Analytical or Performance Cookies 
These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use the Sites. These cookies collect information about how you use the Sites, for instance which pages you go to most often.

These cookies do not collect information that identifies you. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the Sites work and understand what interests our users.

Category 3: Functionality Cookies 
These are used to recognise users when they return to the Sites. They remember user choices and enable the personalisation of content.

These cookies allow the Sites to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services such as remembering whether you have already responded to a questionnaire. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Category 4: Targeting Cookies 
These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests.

These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember which websites or Sites you have visited and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.
