COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: 04/09/2025 | Review on 04/09/2026

Introduction

This cookie policy is for visitors to our website and other digital platforms. It sets out how we use cookies.
 
We use cookies to collect encrypted information. This is because they perform many different jobs, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your experience when using websites. We don’t store any personal information that could identify you as an individual through cookies.
 

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files which may include an anonymous unique identifier. They are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer's hard drive.
 
The pieces of information are stored as name-value pairs (for example, a site name and a unique user ID). Cookies can contain several name-value pairs. A name-value pair is simply a named piece of data. It is not a program, and it cannot 'do' anything. A website can retrieve only the information that it has placed on your machine. It cannot retrieve information from other cookie files, nor any other information from your machine. Once the cookie is on your computer, the site 'knows' that you have been there before and can then use that knowledge to tailor the experience that you have.
