Cookie Policy
Introduction
We understand the importance of protecting your privacy, and we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them and which ones we use. It also explains how you can delete or block cookies from your device and what effect that may have on your online experience.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser or the hard drive of your device when you visit them. Widely used in order to make websites work in a better, more efficient way, they let our website and trusted third parties recognise you and remember important information about your visit. This makes your subsequent visits smoother and easier and the service more useful to you.
Some cookies are automatically deleted from your device as soon as you leave the site, while others are stored for longer.
How do we use them?
When you are on our website, we may place a number of cookies on your browser or device.
We use them to recognise you and store your preferences, so you have a better experience each time you visit. They also help us analyse and identify the parts of our website that perform best or might need tweaking. We sometimes do this by sharing anonymous cookie data with third parties such as Google Analytics.
The cookies we employ are essential for navigating and using many of our website features.
What types of cookies do we use?
We use the following cookies:
-
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to create a user account.
-
Analytical or performance cookies. These 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 works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
-
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
-
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
How do you review your cookie settings?
You can delete cookies from your device or tell your web browser to block them.
If you do decide to delete or block cookies, you may not be able to use all of the online features we offer or be able to store your preferences. Some of our pages might not display properly, and basic services like registration and ordering may not work either.
If you want to remove cookies from your device, you can manually delete them whenever you like. However, this won’t stop websites from placing further cookies on your device. To do that, you need to adjust your web browser settings.
Different web browsers have different ways of changing their cookie settings. To help you out, we have listed some useful links for the most common browsers below.
