What are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

  • Cookies help to provide a better and faster online experience. Almost every website uses cookies or similar technologies.
  • The next time you visit the same website using the same device, the website that originally triggered the setting of the cookie will recognise that you have visited the website before, and in some cases, it adapts the content to take account of your most prior visits. In this way, the website experience can be tailored to your personal interests and preferences.
  • Cookies and web storage technologies allowing local and session storage (“cookies”) make it easier for you to interact with our website. They are typically small text files downloaded by your internet browser to your device when you visit our website. We also place cookies on your device when you interact with website technologies from third-party providers, such as scripts, and pixels, which we integrate on our website for advertising purposes. Pixel usage leads to collection of anonymous data that helps us track conversions from ads, optimise ads, build targeted audiences for future ads, and remarket to people who have already taken action on our site.
  • We also use other technologies similar to cookies such as JavaScript. We use these to pass information we have collected about you when you visit our website to other applications.
  • We provide information below on the use of these technologies.
