What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

• First-party cookies: These cookies are set by the website you are visiting.
• Third-party cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as social media plugins or advertising networks.
• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period of time, as specified in the cookie itself.

Specific Cookies We Use

Here is a detailed overview of the specific types of cookies we use on our website:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
2. Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
   • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how customers use our site so we can make it better. The Google Analytics cookie is a third-party cookie.
3. Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website 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, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. Functionality cookies can 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 anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4. 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 website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. We may use third-party advertising cookies, such as those provided by Google AdSense, to display ads tailored to your browsing interests.
