What Exactly is a Cookie?

Cookie Technology and Your Privacy: Cookies are small data files placed on your device to enhance site functionality. They assign a unique identifier to each user to analyze user behavior anonymously. We don’t collect personal information unless you choose to provide it. Cookies cannot access data on your hard drive, and third-party ads on our site may also place cookies independently, which is outside our control. Our servers automatically collect your IP address to help with site management and user targeting but do not identify you personally.

■ Understanding the Variety of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies:
  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of these cookies.
  • Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (such as your choice of language or region).
  • Marketing Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

■ Choosing to Decline Cookies

You have the option to set your browser to reject cookies. However, rejecting cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our site. Our system may use electronic images known as web beacons (or clear gifs) to count and track users who have visited certain sections of our site.

■ Miscellaneous Details

Email Tracking Details We may include a "web pixel" in our emails to track whether they are opened and how you interact with the content. This information aids us in understanding which content is most engaging. To avoid this tracking, you can set your email to display text only or disable images.
