What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files or data files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function properly, improve efficiency, remember user preferences, support security, measure performance, and provide reporting information.

Cookies may be set by the website operator itself or by third parties whose services are used on the website.

First-party cookies are cookies set directly by us through our Website.
Third-party cookies are cookies set by external service providers, such as analytics providers, security tools, advertising platforms, embedded content providers, or other technical partners.

Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for a number of legitimate operational and business purposes, including to:

ensure the Website functions correctly and securely;
remember your preferences and settings;
support shopping and checkout functionality;
help keep the Website protected from spam, bots, abuse, and malicious activity;
understand how users interact with the Website;
improve Website performance, usability, and content;
measure the effectiveness of pages, campaigns, or features;
support marketing, remarketing, or advertising where applicable and lawful.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the technical operation of the Website. Other cookies are optional and may only be used where you have given consent, where required by law.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Where applicable law requires us to do so, we rely on your consent for the use of non-essential cookies, such as analytics, performance, functionality, and advertising cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies do not usually require consent because they are essential for core Website operation, security, network management, fraud prevention, accessibility, or checkout-related functions.

You can withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent tools made available on our Website, where implemented, or through your browser settings.

Types of Cookies We May Use

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to operate correctly and cannot usually be switched off through our systems. They are generally only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as navigating pages, using secure areas, submitting forms, managing privacy preferences, or completing checkout steps.

Without these cookies, some parts of the Website may not function properly.

2. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help the Website remember choices you make, such as language, region, login state, saved preferences, or other customisations. These cookies help provide a more personalised and consistent browsing experience.

3. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the Website, how long they remain on pages, and whether they encounter errors. This information helps us improve Website performance, content, navigation, and user experience.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party analytics providers.

4. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Where used, advertising and targeting cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising and marketing partners. These cookies may be used to deliver more relevant advertising, limit how often adverts are shown, measure campaign effectiveness, or build a profile of your interests based on browsing behaviour.

These cookies may track your browsing across this and other websites. We will only use such cookies where lawful and, where required, subject to your consent.

How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Where available, you can manage your preferences through our cookie banner or consent management tool presented when you first visit the Website, or at a later time through available settings.

Additional cookies may be set by e-commerce functionality, payment integrations, analytics services, embedded content, marketing tools, or customer support tools depending on how the Website is configured at the relevant time.

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, and local storage technologies. These technologies may be used to understand browsing activity, monitor email interactions, measure campaign performance, detect fraud, improve service delivery, or support Website features.

These technologies often work together with cookies and may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, usage activity, and interaction metrics.

Local Storage and Similar Technologies

Some parts of the Website or third-party services may use browser local storage, session storage, or similar technologies to store information on your device for security, performance, preference, or functional reasons.

Where older technologies such as Flash cookies or local shared objects are used by third-party content or legacy systems, management of those technologies may depend on your device settings or the relevant third-party software controls. However, many modern websites no longer rely on Flash-based technologies as a primary method.

We do not control third-party cookies in the same way as first-party cookies. The use of such cookies is governed by the relevant third party’s own privacy and cookie practices. We encourage you to review their policies where relevant.

Targeted Advertising and Opt-Out Options

Where targeted advertising technologies are used, third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to show you advertising based on your browsing activity, interests, or interactions across websites and services.

You may be able to opt out of certain forms of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out platforms such as:

Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing adverts. It usually means that the adverts you see may be less tailored to your interests.

How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Some cookies operate only during your browser session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These are commonly referred to as session cookies.

Other cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed and continue for a defined period or until manually removed. These are commonly referred to as persistent cookies.

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose and technical configuration.

Cookies and similar technologies may in some cases collect information that is considered personal data, or that becomes personal data when combined with other information. This may include identifiers, IP address, device information, browsing activity, purchase behaviour, approximate location, and technical usage information.

Where cookies involve personal data, our Privacy Policy also applies.
