Cookies Policy

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) by the websites you visit. It contains information that helps us tailor our website and services to meet your needs better.

Why do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons:

  • To enhance user experience
  • To improve site functionality
  • To personalize content
  • For analytics purposes

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are used to ensure the proper functioning of our website. They allow us to authenticate and authorise users, provide secure login sessions, and maintain continuity across multiple pages.

These cookies do not collect any personal data or information that can identify you individually.

Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only during your visit to a particular site (a "session"). When you leave our website, these temporary files are deleted. Persistent cookies stay on your device even after you close the browser session and may be used for various purposes, including analytics and preferences storage.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies help us understand how users interact with our website by collecting information about page visits, scroll depth, time spent per visit, etc. This data is invaluable in making targeted improvements to enhance user experience.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies enable us to gather insights into visitor behavior on our site. We use these analytics tools to make data-driven decisions regarding content optimisation, layout adjustments, and other design features that will provide the most value to users.

We collect anonymised aggregated information about your browsing activity without linking it back to specific individuals or devices.

Preference Settings and Language Selection

When you visit our website for the first time, we offer several options (language selection, font size adjustment) that are stored on your device via cookies. This ensures a seamless experience across future visits without requiring multiple selections every time.

These preferences might be reset if an essential cookie is cleared or a new browser session starts.

Login/Session Continuity

To provide you with the best possible user experience when logging in and navigating our site, we use technologies like cookies to ensure that your data remains secure during transmission. This prevents potential issues of information being lost while transferring it from one page to another.

Device Recognition

Cookies allow us to detect whether a visitor's device is capable of supporting certain formats (Flash) or requires additional software installations for full functionality.

Security-Related Cookies

Our cookies are designed with the highest level of security standards and encrypted, ensuring safe data exchange between our servers and your browser.

These files help protect against session hijacking attempts by maintaining constant connection with the server to authenticate user identities more securely throughout each visit.

Browser Storage Technologies

We employ HTML5-based storage technologies like LocalStorage for caching small amounts of non-sensitive information directly on users' devices. This allows us to store such data locally without having it transferred over a network every time you return, reducing overall page load times and enhancing usability.

However, due to various limitations inherent in these technologies (e.g., limited capacity), we must maintain our analytics functions through traditional HTTP cookies where needed for aggregated tracking purposes.

Third-Party Integrations

Sometimes, third-party services may be integrated into the site. These integrations are necessary because some of their tools require a local storage mechanism within the user's browser session in order to track and facilitate certain activities such as user authentication or content rendering.

While these parties might have access to small parts of your data via the cookies stored during those interactions, our agreement with them ensures they maintain confidentiality regarding personal details according to standard industry guidelines for security standards compliance.

Marketing/Communication Preferences

To better tailor marketing efforts towards users who express preference for certain types of information or promotional activities while visiting our site without disrupting their core user experience upon future visits, some analytics solutions collect aggregated information regarding interest-based trends within demographics and regions accessible over the public internet.

This analysis underpins a variety of contextual campaign strategies made possible by such technology integrations.
