Our website uses first and third-party cookies for technical, analytical and advertising purposes. First party cookies refer to cookies that are set by our site; we are the only ones with access to this information.

On the other hand, third-party cookies or requests allow other third parties to have access to the information collected. Not all cookies are necessary to navigate this site. Cookies used for analytical and advertising purposes such as site Analytics and Advertising cookies (non-essential cookies) are not necessary to navigate our site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded on your computer or mobile device when you visit certain websites. Cookies are sent by a web server to a web browser (Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer, for example). Cookies allow a website, for instance, to identify a user session, recall your preferences (e.g. language), gather information about your browsing habits.

This website, like most websites, works best when allowed to use cookies. When you visit this site, we may send (and store) a cookie on your computer.

This cookie enables the website or web server to collect specific but restricted, information from the web browser about the visitor (that’s you).

Cookies we use, and how do we use cookies?

We may use cookies to help us remember you when you visit the site again and to note which page, or pages, you view and any specific preferences that you might have selected along the way. We may use this information to personalise the content that is shown to you or to prevent certain things from happening, such as an informative popup from being shown to you twice.

We use various cookies on this site. These range from long-term cookies (to remember you, or your preferences), to short-term, or session based, cookies that “expire” when you close your browser window.

We may use other 3rd party cookies (set from other websites, e.g. Google) to compile and store anonymous statistics about browsing patterns or site behaviour and build up a demographic profile. This data is collected along with other visitor data to form a collective analytics report. It’s important to note that this data is not personally identifiable and is only used for reporting/statistical purposes.

We use these types of cookies by function on our site:

  • Mandatory - These cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the website;
  • Analytics - These cookies collect information about how you use our website; this helps us do analysis and improve the website functions;
  • Marketing - We want to be able to present relevant content not only on our site but also when it is relevant on other sites.
