To enable access and usage of our website, we need to use cookies and other related technologies. These are essential to enable the smooth operation of our website. You have the option to block the usage of these cookies (see below). However, blocking these cookies in your browser settings may negatively impact your use of our website.

1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a file that is stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites and enables us or third parties (1) to provide specific functionality on a website, (2) perform data analyses, and (3) save your preferences in order to speed up your future activities and personalise your experience on our website. Cookies can do this, as the Sites can read and edit these small files. They allow the Sites to recognise you, remember important information about you in order to improve your experience with the website (e.g. your preferred settings), and display content (including advertising) personalised to you.
Some cookies store personal data, for example if you click ‘Save password’ on logging in. However, most cookies do not collect any data that can identify you, but rather more general data such as the name of the website from which the cookie came, the ‘lifetime’ of the cookie (i.e. how long the cookie will remain on your device), the importance of the cookie and a number, which is typically randomly generated.
2. What technologies do we use?
Cookies can either be used for a single session or as persistent cookies. A session cookie is deleted automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your device until it expires (this is defined in the cookie itself) or until you delete it. If data collected by cookies constitutes personal data, the Privacy Policy shall apply to the use of this data.
3. How can I manage my cookie settings?
Although this may change in the near future, most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but they leave it up to you to change these settings in order to delete existing cookies, block future cookies, or alert you when cookies are sent to your device. Please take note of your browser settings and instructions to do this. If you adjust your settings, please note that you may not be able to use all of our features, we may not be able to save your preferences and some of our Sites may not be fully displayed. Please note also that if you use different computers in different locations, you will need to configure your browser settings accordingly on each computer.
