Cookie policy 

We are committed to delivering the best possible service to you while maintaining the confidence that you place in us. As part of this, we have adopted strong principles across our Group to ensure the protection of your personal data.

We set out below information about how we place, use and store cookies on your device when you use our website (the "Website" ) and you select the option to manage and delete cookies.

​

1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text, image or software files that are placed on your device when you access our Website. The word "device", when used in this Cookies Policy, refers notably to computers, smartphones, tablets and all other devices used for accessing the internet.

 

Cookies may be either: (i) session specific, meaning that they are deleted from your device once the session and browser are closed; or (ii) persistent meaning that they will remain on your device until they are removed.

 

Cookies perform a number of useful functions, such as to:

• Authenticate and identify you on our Website in order to provide you with services that you have requested;

• Enhance the security of the Website, including to prevent fraudulent use of login credentials and protect user data from access by unauthorised parties;

• Send you personalised advertising based on your browsing history and your preferences on line;

• Monitor your use of our Website in order to improve them;

• Enhance your user experience by adapting and tailoring the content on the Website to your interests and providing more relevant ads and content to you on other applications.

• Remember information that you provided to us (e.g. to automatically populate forms with information that you have previously provided to us so that you can log on more quickly);

• Keep track of your preferences and settings in your use of our Website (e.g. time zone);

​​

2. What kind of information can be stored in a cookie

The information stored by the cookies on your device may relate to the following, subject to its retention period:

• the webpages you have visited on that device;

• the advertisements you have clicked on;

• the type of browser you use;

• your IP address;

• and any other information that you have provided on our Website.

 

Cookies may contain personal data. Our Privacy Policy covers where we use cookies that collect your personal data.

​

3. What kinds of cookies do we use and for what purpose?

Cookies used on our Websites are classified into different categories:

​

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies (mandatory)

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

​

3.2 Functional cookies

These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.

​

3.3 Performance cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how you use our Website. For example, which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. These cookies are essential to us being able to operate and maintain our Website.

​

3.4 Targeting cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

​

4. Who places the cookies on your device?

When you select which types of cookies you allow on your device, the cookies may be deposited directly by us or by one of our partners.

This means that when you authorise the installation of certain so-called "third-party" cookies on your device, our partners will also be able to access the information they contain (such as, for example, your browsing statistics when you allow third-party analysis cookies) within the limits of our Privacy Policy and those of our partners.

See below for the full list and categories of the cookies that we currently use on our Website:
