Types of cookie we use

We use both first and third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time, in this case cookies placed by us and our Websites. A third-party cookie is set by an entity or domain other than the website being visited.

We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies allow a website operator to link your actions only during a browser session, when you open the Internet browser window until you close the browser window. These cookies are temporary and they are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period of time specified in the cookie. The storage periods for the cookies we use are discussed below.

We have classified the cookies we use on our Websites into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

Advertising cookies
