3. What are cookies and the other technologies we use?
This section explains the cookies and other technologies we use that are bult into your browser.
Cookies
- Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your computer or device’s hard drive. The information stored may be sent back to our servers or third-party servers during your website session. Cookies are used to enable certain features, like logging in to our website, to track the usage via analytics and to store your user settings.
- You can review, delete, or block cookies set by our website, or any other website, through your browser settings. For example, if you use Google Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies. If you block all cookies, some parts of the website may not work as a result.
JavaScript
- JavaScripts are pieces of program code that enable the proper and interactive functioning of our website. While they don’t access your computer directly, they can monitor your interactions on the webpage and relay that information back to the server. These scripts are used to animate webpage elements, manage functionality, and facilitate data transmission between your computer and the server. They can track actions such as key presses, clicks, and mouse movements, often utilised for analytical purposes. If you’re using Chrome, you can view the JavaScripts downloaded by our website by accessing Developer Tools with “CTRL + SHIFT + I” and navigating to the Sources tab. Additionally, your web browser offers the option to block JavaScripts through settings, but doing so could stop certain features of the site from working.
Tracking pixels
- Tracking pixels, also known as web beacons or pixel tags, are small, transparent pieces of text or image on a web page or email to let us know when it has been visited or read. They monitor website traffic and user behaviour.
4. What types of cookies do we use?
Functionality
- Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website work properly and that your user preferences remain known. By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website and, for example, auto populating your contact details when filling out a form for a second time. We may place these cookies without your consent.
Analytical
- Analytical cookies are used to track website visitors and their user behaviour. With these cookies we can get insights about how users interact with our website. This data is then used to improve the way the website works and, in turn, used to improve user experience. We ask your permission to place analytical cookies.
Marketing
