Essential Cookies – These can also be known as Strictly Necessary Cookies, and they’re very important for us to make sure our website runs as it should. As a result, these cookies are always automatically enabled, to make sure our website works sufficiently. Some examples of uses of essential cookies include the distribution of website traffic across multiple servers – without the website speed being affected, facilitating the check out process. These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled via our cookie management tool, as the website cannot function properly without them.
Analytical Cookies - These can also be known as Performance Cookies, and they gather information about how website visitors use a website. These cookies help us to keep count of the number of visitors on our website, and also helps us to understand how these visitors use our website. This enables us to understand what works well on our website, and what doesn’t work so well, so we can continuously improve the site for visitors. These cookies are only activated where you provide consent via our cookie banner.
Advertising Cookies – These can also be known as Targeting Cookies. These cookies track your visits to our website, including the pages you visit, and any links you have followed from said pages. This information is then used to display adverts to you, based on what we have learned about your preferences from these cookies. These cookies are only placed on your device where you have provided consent.
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may be processed by third-party providers (such as analytics or advertising partners), even where the cookies themselves are first-party cookies. These providers may use this information to help us analyse website usage or deliver relevant content or adverts.
We do not control how these third parties use your data and recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie policies for more information. Some providers may transfer data outside the UK, and where this happens, appropriate safeguards will be in place.
