1. What are cookies and other tracking technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of data (alphanumeric files) that are placed on your device when you visit websites. They are commonly used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information about your use of the website and display content and advertising that is relevant to you. Other, similar, technologies can also be used to achieve these outcomes. This could include, for example, SDK tools (which are used on mobile apps), tracking pixels, advertising IDs, social media plug-ins, HTML local storage, Local Shared Objects and device fingerprinting techniques. In this Cookie Policy, we will use the term “Cookies” to refer to both cookies and similar technologies.
2. Why do we use Cookies?
We use Cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, to enable you to navigate between webpages efficiently and to allow our Website to remember your preferences. Cookies can track browsing behaviour to help us to understand how our Website is used so that we can improve it and provide better customer experience. Cookies can also help ensure that any adverts that you see on our Website and other websites are more relevant to you and your interests.
3. What Cookies do we use and how long will they stay on my device?
Where we, place Cookies on your device, these are called first party Cookies.
We also use third party Cookies. These Cookies are set by third party domains and are set for cross-site or app tracking, retargeting, analytics and ad-serving.
Some Cookies will stay on your device only for as long as you are accessing our Website during a single browsing session and so are temporary. These are known as session cookies. Other Cookies are stored on your device for longer periods to enable our Website to “remember” you and your preferences or to track your actions across different websites in order to target advertising. These are known as persistent cookies.
See below the types of cookies we use and their purposes in the table below.

These cookies play an essential role in providing functionality and personalisation.

We encourage you to allow the use of these cookies to ensure optimal functionality and a personalised experience while browsing our website.”
By not allowing cookies to collect information, users may miss out on customised features or experiences tailored to their preferences.

Functional Cookies
These Cookies allow the Website to remember choices you have made such as your user name, language, the region you are in. They therefore provide a more enhanced and personalised experience.
They also include social media plug-ins which enable you to share our Website content via your social media account(s) or easily share information with others. We have a presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, WeChat, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu. If you click on any of the Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, WeChat, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu icons on our website, you will be taken to our pages or profiles on those platforms. The platforms may then start tracking your behaviour using Cookies for their own purposes; for example, to better understand your interests so that they can present relevant content or advertising to you. Data about you may also be transmitted to the social media channel even if you don’t click on the plug-in. The social media platforms will provide us with statistical information, which we use to help understand how you and our other users interact with our social medial presence. All these platforms provide you with some control over their use of non-essential tracking technology and you can find details of how to exercise this control by reviewing their privacy and cookie policies.
