What are cookies and how do we use them?
Like most websites you visit, our website (“Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other visitors to our Site and, for example, to store and manage user preferences, provide targeted advertising, enable content, and collect data for analytics and user data.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and store your actions and preferences over time.
Wherever possible, we have taken security measures to prevent unauthorised access to our cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and/or our authorised service providers have access to the cookie data.
