Cookie Policy & Website Tracking Tools

We value transparency regarding how we collect and use data from our users. This cookie policy is designed to clearly explain how, when, and why we use cookies on our website.

Before taking any action regarding cookies, we recommend that you read this policy carefully. Information about deleting or blocking cookies can be found in the section on managing your cookie settings.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They are stored by your browser and allow the website to remember certain information about your actions and preferences over a period of time.

This means you do not have to re-enter information every time you return to the website or navigate between pages. Cookies help you navigate between pages efficiently, remember your settings, and generally improve your browsing experience.

Other technologies, including data stored on your web browser or device, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as cookies.

Types of Cookies

Classification by Duration

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. They only last for the duration of your visit to a website or browsing session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predefined period unless deleted before the expiry date. Persistent cookies help us recognise you, making it easier to return to our website without having to log in again or change settings each time.

Classification by Domain

First-party cookies are set by the web server of the website you are visiting and belong to the same domain.

Third-party cookies are stored in a domain different from the website you are visiting. This can happen when the website references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain.

Classification by Storage Location

Browser cookies are sent by a website and stored in your browser. They store less data than other types and can only be accessed by the browser in which they are stored.

Flash cookies are locally shared objects that differ from browser cookies in the amount, type, and manner in which data is stored. They are stored outside the browser and can be accessed by multiple browsers on the same computer.

Our Use of Cookies

Every browser that visits our website receives cookies from us. Where the cookies we use are not strictly necessary for providing the website, we will ask for your consent to use cookies on your first visit.

We use cookies on our website because we want to offer our users the best possible experience. Information provided through cookies enables us to optimise your experience on our site.

Cookies do not normally contain information that can personally identify a user. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function effectively. They help make the website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas.

These cookies can be used to protect and speed up our website by automatically optimising content delivery, ensuring you receive the fastest possible page load times and best performance. Essential cookies may also be used for security purposes and to identify trusted visitors.

These cookies do not correspond to any user ID in our web application and do not store personally identifiable information. We recommend that you do not disable these cookies. If you set your browser to notify you about or block these cookies, please note that some parts of the website may not function properly.

Preference and Functionality Cookies

Preference cookies allow a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in. They can also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video, commenting on a blog, or using live chat.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help website operators understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use various analytics cookies to analyse information about how our website is used.

Analytics cookies can process information about the number of visitors to the website, where visitors come from, the pages they visit, and how long they spend on each page. This information helps us improve our website and better serve our users.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed by domains other than the one you are visiting. These cookies are often used for advertising and tracking purposes. Third-party services may use cookies to provide their services, measure traffic, and analyse user behaviour.

We may use third-party cookies to help us with marketing campaigns, analyse website traffic, and provide social media features. The third parties that set these cookies have their own privacy policies governing how they use the information collected.
