Cookies
This Cookie policy helps to explain the occasions when and why cookies may be sent to visitors of the Site (referred to in this policy as “we”, “us” or “our”).
Cookies allow the Site to remember important information that will make your use of the site more convenient. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value.
Certain cookies will be used on the Site regardless of whether you are logged in to your account or not.
Here are the types of cookies we use:
Strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies we place on your browser ensure that our website delivers information and services to you securely and optimally. You must accept these essential cookies to be able to make use of our online systems. In summary, these cookies enable services you have specifically asked for and make using our services possible.
Functionality cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how you engage with our properties. We may use a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying your individual information.
Advertising cookies
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 campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests.
How secure are Cookies?
There is a lot of concern about privacy and security on the internet. Cookies do not in themselves present a threat to privacy, since they can only be used to store information that the user has volunteered or that the web server already has. Whilst it is possible that this information could be made available to specific third party websites, this is no worse than storing it in a central database. If you are concerned that the information you provide to a webserver will not be treated as confidential then you should question whether you actually need to provide that information at all.
How to control cookies?
Be very careful about deleting cookies, as that may prevent some parts of our systems from working properly. Most browsers have a configuration screen which allows the user to see what cookies have been stored on the computer, and optionally delete them. For more information, see www.whatarecookies.com.
