What are Cookies?

Cookies and other similar tracking technologies are small text files or code placed on your device (e.g. computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use our website or app or view a message. Cookies allow a website or app to recognise a particular device.

Our use of Cookies

We use cookies and other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons and single-pixel gifs on our website. These help us recognise you and your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.

For example, we may monitor how many times you visit our website, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider. This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies and our websites below tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, some of our website features may not function as a result.
