Cookies Policy

We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies") to manage our Site and email messages and to collect information about you and your activities online over time and across different websites. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices available to you.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we collect and use personal data.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies do not give us access to your device and we cannot use them to run programmes or deliver viruses.

Types of cookies

We use the following types of cookies on the Site:

  • Session cookies, which remain on your device only during your time on the Site and are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device after your browsing session for the time period specified below, unless deleted by you.
  • Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the proper functioning and operation of the Site (for example, in order to log into secure areas of the Site). These cannot be switched off as the Site cannot function properly without them.
  • Analytical/performance cookies, which allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Site. This helps us to improve the way the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily and do not encounter technical errors.
  • Functionality cookies, which enable us to recognise you when you return to the Site and recall log-in information where required, or your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
  • Targeting/advertising cookies, which enable us to tailor marketing to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited the Site and this information may be shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your visits to other websites, their purpose is to present advertising relevant to your interests. Without these cookies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you.

The table below provides additional information about the specific cookies we use on the Site.

Additional use of cookies

We also use cookies to collect information about the device and browser you use to access our Site so we can optimise your experience and continually improve functionality. For example, we collect information about your browser type, operating system, domain name of your internet service provider, websites visited before and after visiting our Site, pages viewed and activities on our Site, and advertisements seen or clicked on.

These technologies help us to recognise you, customise or personalise your online experience, and analyse the use of our services to make them more useful to you. They also allow us to compile aggregate demographic and statistical data, which may or may not include Personal Data, and provide this information to our service providers.

If we use such data, it will be on an aggregate basis, and we will not attempt to identify you from that information. Any such use would be for the purposes of securing, maintaining and improving the Site, ensuring its content is presented effectively, and supporting internal operations such as troubleshooting, testing, research and statistical purposes.

Third-Party cookies 

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third-party services, such as analytics platforms, social media plugins, or embedded content providers. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information about your online activities across different websites over time. We do not control how these third parties use your data and recommend that you review their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Where we embed content or services from third parties (such as LinkedIn, YouTube, or similar platforms), those parties may set their own cookies on your device. We will seek your consent for such cookies where required by applicable law.
