Our Site uses cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are usually pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer or device to store, and sometimes track, information about you. Cookies let websites remember you and your preferences, manage different features and content, store searches, and personalise content.

Why we use these technologies

For example, like many companies, we use Analytics, a web analytics service provided by third party analytics service, to help us monitor our site traffic. Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the site analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by them. They will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the site, compiling reports on site activity for site operators and providing other services relating to site activity and Internet usage. They may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information. Analytics will not associate your IP address with any other data held by them. Nevertheless, performance cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous and it does not affect your privacy. It is only used to improve how a site works. We might also use these cookies to highlight our products or services which we think will be of interest to you based on your use of our sites. By using Organization’s sites you agree we may place these types of cookies on your device.
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided. As these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not need to ask for your consent to use them.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a site, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. Some of these are analytics cookies, set using third-party web analytics software, which allow us to understand more about how our site is used.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the site to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other sites. By using Organization’s sites you agree we may place these types of cookies on your device.
  • Targeting or advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the site operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a site and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. Our Sites do not use targeting cookies. We will ask for your consent before we use targeting cookies.

Utilization of Cookies for Service Enhancement

Third-Party Advertisements and Cookie Tracking: The advertisements you see on our website may be served by third parties who use their own cookies to monitor how many times you have seen an advertisement and to track your visits across different sites where their ads appear. This tracking, which is anonymous, aims to provide ads that are more relevant to your interests and to limit the frequency of the same ad. For instance, if you have recently searched for cars, you might see advertisements for car services on our site. We do not control these third-party cookies and cannot access the data they collect, but you can opt out of this type of tracking through online advertiser settings.

Cookies and Advanced Pixel Technologies

Web Beacons Across Our Digital Platform We deploy web beacons, also known as clear gifs, within certain parts of our digital platform to enable us and our partners to count visits and understand engagement and navigation patterns.

Functional Challenges Without Cookies
