Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 1, 2024
Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website sends to a user’s computer or device while they are viewing the website. These files include tracking codes, unique site identifiers, and session information that enable the website to track the path of visitor requests through the web site. Without cookies, neither session state nor personalization would be possible and many websites would not function correctly.
Types of Cookies We Use
Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are strictly necessary for the provision of services as explicitly requested by you, the user, or a legal obligation. Without these cookies, services like shopping baskets and e-billing cannot function correctly.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve the functioning of the website.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
Managing Cookies
If you wish to manage, delete, or block cookies used on our site, you can use your browser’s privacy settings to do so. These settings allow you to define which cookies are allowed in accordance with your preferences. Review your browser’s help documentation for specific instructions on how to manage or delete cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
We sometimes use third-party cookies, which are set by a different domain (not our website). For example, we may use YouTube’s cookies when embedding video content or Google Analytics cookies to better understand how our website is used. These third parties have their own privacy policies and may use the data they collect for their own purposes, enhanced with more data collected from other sources. You can manage these cookies through the third party’s own consent mechanisms, as well as your browser’s privacy settings.
Consent and Control
We aim to comply with GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA, and UK GDPR. Our use of cookies is intended to improve the functionality of our website and provide you with a better user experience. When you first visit our site, we notify you about our use of cookies through a cookie banner, which includes a link to this Cookie Policy. By using our website after this notification has been displayed to you, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
You have the right to withdraw or modify your consent at any time and can do so by altering your cookie settings on our website. You may also opt-out from third-party advertising networks (such as those provided by About Ads). Keep in mind that if you disable certain cookies, our website’s functionality may be limited.
