In general, you may visit our website without identifying who you are or
revealing any information about yourself. However, cookies are used to store
small amounts of information on your computer, which allows certain information
from your web browser to be collected. Cookies are widely used on the internet
and do not identify the individual using the computer, just the computer being
used. Cookies and other similar technology make it easier for you to log on to
and use our websites during future visits.
We are committed to protecting you and any data (anonymous or otherwise) that we
collect about you online. This section tells you how we use cookies, why, and
how this allows us to improve our service. It also tells you how you can manage
what cookies are stored on your device. We call it our “Cookies Terms”. By using

that use in addition to any other terms and conditions which may apply. We
reserve the right to make changes to our Cookie Terms. Any such changes shall

What are cookies?
Cookies are files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded
to the device you use when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to
the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that
recognises that cookie. Cookies do lots of different and useful jobs, such as
remembering your preferences, and generally improving your online experience.
There are different types of cookies. They all work in the same way, but have
minor differences:
Session cookies
Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when
you close your browser. These facilitate various tasks such as allowing a
website to identify that a user of a particular device is navigating from page
to page, supporting website security or basic functionality.
Many of the cookies we use are session cookies. For example, they help us to
ensure the security of your session, and can also keep you signed in while you
move between pages or service your account.
Our session cookies used for security are designed to be very difficult to read,
change, access or use except by us when you have an active session. They contain
no real personal information other than a screen name or any other personal data
that can be used to identify an individual.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies last after you have closed your browser, and allow a website
to remember your actions and preferences.
We may uses persistent cookies in a few ways, for example, to remember your
username for log on so you don’t have to. We sometimes use persistent cookies to
allow us to analyse customer visits to our site so we can improve the services.
For full details about our cookies, we’ve put together a list of the cookies
that we use.
First and third party cookies
Whether a cookie is a first or third party cookie depends on which website the
cookie comes from. First party cookies are those set by or on behalf of the
website visited. All other cookies are third party cookies. We use both first
party and third party cookies, which you can read more about in our list of the
cookies that we use.

'Targeting Cookies'. These cookies collect several pieces of information about
your browsing habits. They are usually placed by advertising networks. They
remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with
other organisations such as media publishers. These organisations do this in
order to provide you with targeted adverts more relevant to you and your
interests. This type of advertising is called online behavioural advertising and
those companies providing this advertising are working with the UK’s Internet
Advertising Bureau to deliver more information to consumers. By using our
