Cookies Policy
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of data that websites store on your browser or device when you visit them. It's like leaving a note for the website to remember certain details about you, so it can provide a better experience next time you visit.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies to help us understand how people interact with our site and services. This information helps us improve performance, resolve issues, and make sure you have the best possible user experience.
Types of Cookies
There are several types of cookies we might use:
These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website or service. They help ensure that pages load correctly and provide a secure connection between your browser and ours.
Session cookies expire when you close your browser or leave our site. They're used to remember which pages you've visited so far, but they don't store any long-term data about you.
These cookies stay on your device even after you close your browser. We use them for activities like remembering language settings or login credentials (more on that later).
Functional cookies help us improve the user experience by storing preferences, such as font sizes or colour schemes.
We use analytics tools to understand how users engage with our site and services. These cookies track information about browsing behaviour, which helps us make targeted improvements.
Cookies can also store language settings and other personalisations you make while using our website.
To provide a seamless experience, we use cookies to remember your login credentials between sessions. This ensures that when you come back to the site, it knows who you are.
We may use cookies or similar technologies (more on those below) to identify and track devices used by our users. This helps us deliver relevant content based on individual preferences and browsing history.
Some security measures rely on cookies to function properly, ensuring that your data is secure when interacting with sensitive pages or features.
We're not the only ones using storage technologies – many modern websites use similar solutions to improve performance and functionality. Some examples include web storage (localStorage), session storage, or caching mechanisms like Service Workers.
In some cases, we integrate third-party services that require cookies for proper functioning. These integrations usually comply with the same rules as our own cookie usage.
Cookies can be used to track marketing campaigns and targeted advertisements on other websites (depending on your specific browser settings). We also use them to remember communication preferences between visits, like email sign-ups.
For compliance purposes, some browsers will prompt you about using cookies before allowing site access. These prompts usually offer choices for acceptance or refusal of certain types of data storage.
Most modern web browsers have built-in tools that allow users to view and manage cookies directly:
You can also review your cookie preferences and clear any stored cookies through these tools.
If you choose to remove our cookies, this will impact various site functionalities (explained below). However, it won't affect other services that use different storage mechanisms.
Impact on Site Functionality When Disabled
Most areas of the website should still function normally after disabling all cookies. However:
Technical Diagnostics and Performance Optimisation
Analytics tools also provide insights on technical issues and areas for performance improvement. These aggregated findings are not directly used for identifying individual users but contribute towards creating better experiences across our platform as a whole.
We aim to deliver the most seamless experience possible while respecting user choice regarding data storage. If you have any questions or concerns about cookies, please feel free to reach out.
