What type of cookies do we use?
Different cookies have different functions. Our website uses the following cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms or making use of e-billing services. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and traffic sources 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 are finding what they are looking for easily. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous, but may be shared with analytics and search engine providers that assist us with improving our website and product offerings. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
