What are cookies?
A 'cookie' is a small text file that is stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website or use an app.
We use cookies to ‘remember’ when your computer or device accesses our websites. Cookies help the effective operation of our websites. They are used to tailor the products and services offered and advertised to you, both on our websites and elsewhere.
We have placed cookies on your computer to help us give you the experience you expect. By continuing to use our website, you’re agreeing to our use of cookies. Alternatively, you can manage them in your browser setting.
Google analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website and help us create a more useful and easy to use site. This is a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to collect information such as visitor numbers and the most popular pages.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
If you want to see more information about how Google uses this data and what they do with the data they collect, please visit their privacy policy.

Cookie List
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

When the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed. |
