Cookies are small text
files that are placed on your browser by websites that you visit. We use
cookies on our website in order to enhance user experience and to make our
website work efficiently, for example in order to save your preferences for the
duration of your visit, and also to help us identify product features in which
you may have the greatest interest.
Generally, the cookies
that we use perform the following three functions:
1.
ESSENTIAL COOKIES
These cookies are required
for essential website functionality, for example to allow you to navigate from
page to page. These cookies are stored temporarily on your device throughout
the duration of your browsing session only and are deleted when your browser is
closed.
2.
PERFORMANCE COOKIES
We set analytics cookies
on our website which enable us to gather information on how visitors use our
site and to help us to improve the site. These cookies collect information in
an anonymous form, for example the number of visitors to the website and the pages
visited.
3.
FUNCTIONALITY COOKIES
We also use certain
cookies set by a third party in order to provide users with content sharing
functionality, enabling you to share certain information through social media
links. These cookies are set on your browser by AddThis. AddThis will not have
access to any personally identifiable information e.g. your email address
unless you provide any such personal information in order to use the social
media links (in this case the information would not be shared by AddThis and
would only be retained for a short period before deletion). AddThis do however
assign your browser with a unique identifier and aggregate visitor data on what
pages are shared, when and how. They will also be able to access certain
non-personally identifiable information such as where you are visiting the
website from and your IP address. AddThis will not install tracking software on
your computer, and will only be able to access any of your data if you visit
another website which also uses AddThis. AddThis also uses aggregate data for
analytic report purposes, for example, it uses an ID assigned to each web
browser in order to count the number of people who have shared content on our
website. AddThis is also in partnership with certain advertising companies,
which means that there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from one
of their advertising partners. If you do not wish AddThis to collection
information from you for the purposes of online behavioural advertising then
you can opt out, which will prevent advertisers from receiving any such data.
