1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies, and they enable third-party features or functionality such as analytics, embedded video, maps and advertising.
We also use other automatic data collection technologies alongside cookies:
- Web beacons (also known as “web bugs”) are small strings of code that deliver a graphic image on a web page or in an email for the purpose of transferring data back to us. Information collected via web beacons includes your IP address and information about how you respond to an email campaign, such as when the email was opened and which links you clicked. We use this information for website traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising, email auditing and reporting, and personalisation.
- Log files record website activity and gather statistics about browsing habits. These entries are generated automatically and help us troubleshoot errors, improve performance and maintain the security of the Website.
- Local storage is browser-based storage used to remember settings and preferences between visits.
For ease of reference, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies” throughout this policy.
