How we use cookies

We use cookies to make our website work and to see how our website is used so that we can identify ways to improve it. This includes:

  • Which pages you visit
  • How long you spend viewing our website
  • If you have visited our site before
  • How you came to the website (e.g. clicked on a link from another website)

The cookies we use

Cookies fall into four categories:

  • Necessary - Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
  • Performance – Performance cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) to provide features that are more relevant to you.
  • Statistics – Statistics cookies improve the way a website works by collecting information about how the website is used; like which pages are viewed the most and if a page causes an error. The information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
  • Targeting/advertising – Targeting/advertising cookies help display ads that are relevant to you.

Cookies are stored for two lengths of time:

  • Session – Session cookies are removed once you close your computer browser.
  • Persistent – Persistent cookies are stored for a specific amount of time.

In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties such as Google Analytics (so we can understand how our site is used and how we can improve visitors’ experiences) and social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter so that you can easily connect to them from our website. These services may also place cookies on your device, but we do not have control over these cookies. For information on a third party’s cookies please visit their website.
