WHAT IS THIS NOTICE ABOUT?
This Cookie Policy explains how we use “cookies” and similar technologies (such as “web beacons,” “pixels” or “tags”) on the Website. It is designed to assist you in making informed decisions when using our Website and interacting with our content, so please take a moment to read and understand this Cookie Policy.
INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USE OF COOKIES
1. Our Website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve our Website.
2. What are cookies or similar technologies?
A cookie is a small text file (letters and numbers) or a piece of code, which often includes a unique identifier. When you visit a website, the website will request to store this text file on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Other information gathered through cookies may include the date and time of visits and how you are using the particular website.
We also use similar technologies to cookies known as “web beacons”, “pixels” or “tags”. These technologies do a similar job to cookies, allowing website operators to count page views and understand how visitors interact with and respond to certain content on a webpage, or email.
For the purposes of the remaining sections of this Cookie Policy, we refer to all cookies and similar technologies using the above features as “cookies”.
We may use “first party cookies” and “third party cookies” in connection with our Website. First party cookies are cookies placed by us to collect information about you. Third party cookies are cookies placed by third party website operators. Information about you collected by those third party cookies will be shared with the relevant third party.
Please refer to the relevant third party website operator’s privacy notice for more details about the information they collect and how they use it.
Please note that our Website may link to third party websites which are not operated by us. Where you follow links from our Website to the website or platform of a third party (even if you do not actually leave our Website), that website or platform may place different cookies on your device. You should check the relevant privacy notice and/or cookie notice for more information about how that third party uses cookies.
You should be aware that applications you use to access our Website, such as your website browser, may also place cookies on your device when visiting our Website, or other websites. An example of this would be where you sign into Google Chrome using a Google Account. We do not have control over these third party cookies, so you will need to manage these cookies in the settings of the relevant applications.
For more details on cookies and similar technologies, please visit All About Cookies.
3. How long do cookies last?
All cookies have expiration dates that determine how long they stay in your browser:
Session Cookies – these are temporary cookies that are placed on your device during your browsing session and then expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies – these are designed to last for a pre-defined period of time, which varies depending on the nature of the cookie. Persistent cookies stay in your browser until they reach their individual expiry date, or until you manually delete them.
4. Which cookies do we use on our Website?
We may use the following cookies:
(a) Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. They include, for example, cookies required for security reasons or fixing bugs.
(b) Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
(c) Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our Website, and remember your preferences and provide enhanced, more personalised features.
(d) Targeting cookies. Targeting cookies (also known as advertising cookies) help us to deliver our adverts when you visit other websites, such as news websites. This is known as ‘retargeting’. This technique helps to ensure that the ads you receive are more relevant to you and your interests. These cookies help to measure the effectiveness of an ad (for example, by reporting whether you have clicked on it) and can also limit the number of times that you see an ad (for example, if you see it twice but don’t click on it, you may not see it again). These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks that we and other advertisers work with to deliver ads. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other ad networks to show you relevant ads. We may use this information to make the content on this Website more relevant to our users.
(e) Social Media Cookies. These cookies are used to personalise your interaction with social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Such cookies recognise users of those social media sites when you view social media content on the website. They also allow you to quickly share content across social media, through the use of simple “sharing” buttons.
(f) Security and website integrity Cookies. These cookies help keep your data and the Website safe and secure.
