Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

They allow a website to recognise a device and remember certain information about a visit, such as preferences, shopping-cart information or other settings.

Cookies may be placed by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on or through the website (third-party cookies).

Some cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

6. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie-consent notice.

Where consent is required, you can choose whether to allow non-essential categories of cookies.

The consent request will clearly distinguish between cookies that are necessary for the website and cookies that require consent.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. It must also be possible to withdraw consent.

We do not rely solely on continued browsing as consent to non-essential cookies.

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Where our cookie-consent system provides this functionality, you can:

  • Accept non-essential cookies

  • Reject non-essential cookies

  • Select individual categories

  • Change your previous choices

Withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving consent.
