TYPES OF COOKIES

The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Targeting or Marketing Cookies. Similar to statistical cookies these collect information about user’s behaviour but at an individual level and are used to track users across different websites to allow targeted advertising of products and services that are more relevant to the individual user based on an analysis of their browsing. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They are usually placed on your device by third-party advertising networks; these cookies collect the most information about users.
