Our Sites use cookies and/or other similar technologies such as device-IDs, in-app codes, pixel tags and web beacons to collect and store certain information.

What are cookies?

These typically involve pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies and similar technologies enable you to be remembered when using that computer or device to interact with websites and online services and can be used to manage a range of features and content as well as storing searches and presenting personalised content.

How does or Platform use cookies?

Our Sites use cookies and similar technologies either alone or in combination with each other to create a unique device ID, and to distinguish you from other users of our Sites. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Platform, and allows us to improve our Sites.

A number of cookies and similar technologies we use last only for the duration of your web or app session and expire when you close your browser or exit our Site or App. Others are used to remember you when you return to one of our Sites and will last for longer.

We use strictly necessary cookies if they are necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or because using them is in our legitimate interests (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights). We use all other cookies with your consent.

We use the following types of cookies:

Functionality cookies

These may be used to recognise you when you return to our Sites. This enables us, subject to your choices and preferences, to personalise our content, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, choice of language or region).

Analytical/performance cookies.

These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Sites when they are using them. This helps us improve the way our Sites work, for example, by ensuring that users are easily finding what they are looking for.

These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information subject to your choices and preferences to make our Sites and the advertising displayed on them more relevant to your interests.

We may also work with advertising networks that gather information about the content on our Site you visit and on information on other websites and services you visit.
