SESSION
During your visit to our website (a session), we may use cookies to identify your computer. These cookies help us monitor website usage and personalise the content for you. Rest assured, the cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. If you prefer not to receive cookies in the future, please let us know.
COOKIES
Please be aware that as you use our websites, mobile sites, or apps, we may collect information using cookies in order to enhance your user experience.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small files that are downloaded to your computer, mobile device, or tablet when you visit a website. When you revisit the website, your web browser sends these files back to the site, allowing it to recognise you, retain your settings, improve site performance, and personalise your experience. It is important to understand that cookies cannot access your computer, install programs, or transmit viruses.
The use of cookies can be categorised into four main groups:
1. Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website. Examples include remembering items in your shopping basket and maintaining your logged-in status while navigating different pages.
2. Analytical Cookies: To ensure our content remains up-to-date, relevant, and tailored to our customers' preferences, we track website traffic. This helps us identify any errors or missing pages. The data collected is anonymous and analysed in aggregate, without identifying individual users. Analytical cookies track metrics such as time spent on the site, browsing paths, and referral sources. They do not collect specific personal information but provide insights into the behaviour patterns of our customer base as a whole. These cookies may also be used to notify affiliate sites about visitors referred from our website.
3. Beneficial Cookies: Some cookies enable the website to remember your preferences and choices, such as language selection, email opt-in/out status, mobile template selection, form completion history, and tailored content based on your previous interactions. These cookies aim to provide a more personalised and convenient experience for you.
4. Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA): Cookies may be used for advertising purposes. OBA cookies serve to customise the relevance of the advertisements you see, limit the frequency of repeated ads, and segment customers into groups with similar interests. This allows us to provide a more suitable experience and deliver content that aligns with your preferences. OBA may also be used to advertise our own products and services. It is important to note that OBA cookies do not collect personal data but rather utilise your browsing history on specific sites to tailor future content. The data collected remains anonymous and is only accessible to you and the website that placed the cookies. We do not sell your data or behavioural information to other companies, and all insights gained through cookies are kept confidential.

OPT OUT OF ONLINE BEHAVIOURAL ADVERTISING
If you would like to override cookies, particularly those affecting Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA), there are third-party solutions available. It is important to note that these solutions use their own cookies, so if you choose this method, you cannot simultaneously delete cookies in your browser.
One such solution is offered by the website http://www.aboutads.info/choices. This website provides information and tools to manage and opt out of targeted advertising cookies from participating companies.
Additionally, Google provides its own Opt-out plugin for Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. This plugin allows you to control personalised ads and opt out of certain Google advertising services. You can find more information and download the plugin on the Google Ads Settings page.
Please be aware that while these solutions can help manage cookies for targeted advertising, they may not cover all cookies used on websites or within specific applications.
OPT OUT OF ANALYTICAL COOKIES
We only use Google Analytics as an external tool to measure site traffic and behaviour. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This will provide you with an opt-out browser add-on that prevents your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics.
