What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies help us to provide you with a better browsing experience by allowing us to understand what areas of the website are of interest to you.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our Website. For example, they help us to understand which pages are most popular, how visitors move around the Website, and if they get error messages from web pages. We use this information to improve how our Website works.

The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our Website.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests.

Do we use other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Updates to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
