What are cookies?

 

We use the term 'cookies'  to refer to all technologies which store and access information on the device that you use to access the Websites, such as your computer, tablet, or mobile phone. For example, we use http cookies, which are small data files (typically made up of numbers and letters) that are downloaded to your device when you access the Websites and allow us to recognise your device.
 
We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors and to better understand how the Websites are used. Cookies may tell us whether you have visited the Websites before, or whether you are a new visitor, and help us to remember your preferences.

What types of cookies exist?

 

This section provides an overview of the types of cookies we use, which are classified as follows:
  1. First-party cookies: Cookies served directly by us.
  2. Third-party cookies: Cookie served on our behalf, for example by advertisers and data analytics companies.
 
According to their lifespan, cookies may be classified as:
  1. Session cookies: These cookies are designed to collect and store information while the user visits a website. They last only as long as your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser.
  2. Persistent cookies: These cookies are stored on your device and contain information which may be accessed and processed over a period of time; time frames can vary between a few minutes to several years.

What these cookies do

How to exercise your cookie choices

Essential website cookies

These cookies are necessary to provide you with some of the features of the Websites and for the Websites to function, including as set in response to actions taken by you, such as when you select your privacy preferences, log in, or fill in forms.

You can control and delete these cookies through your browser settings; however, if you choose to do so, you will not be able to use the full functionality of the Websites.

Functional cookies

These cookies are used to enhance and personalise the user experience, including remembering user preferences so that the Websites can be customised for them. For example, these cookies may be used to link certain sessions to a specific visitor in order to identify who has already accessed our Websites, to ensure that a user is not a bot, or to improve the flow of web traffic enabling our Websites to run smoothly for visitors.

You are unable to control functional cookies.

Performance cookies

These cookies monitor website performance and collect anonymous data on how visitors use the Websites, including counting visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Websites. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

You can adjust your cookie preferences by accessing the “Cookie Settings” link within the footer section of the Websites.

More information, including details on how to opt-out of Google Analytics specifically, is available here.

Targeting cookies

We work with third party advertising partners, such as LinkedIn, that collect information using cookies to help make the advertising you see on the Websites and elsewhere on the internet/other sites more relevant to you, and to measure the effectiveness of the advertising on the Websites. These third parties may use cookies to build a profile of your interests. We do not control which cookies are set or how your data is used by these third parties and therefore you should refer to their privacy policy for further information about which cookies are set and their privacy and information usage practices.

You can adjust your cookie preferences by accessing the “Cookie Settings” link within the footer section of the Websites.

You can find information about advertising cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them here.

Social media cookies

These cookies are set by social media providers to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking you across other sites and building a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see social media sharing tools.

You can control and delete these cookies through your browser settings; however, if you choose to do so, then you will not be able to use the full functionality of the Websites.

How can you exercise your cookies choices?

 

Depending on applicable law, you might have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. You should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of some parts of the Websites.
 
If you don’t want the Websites to use cookies and you are in a jurisdiction that requires that you have the ability to disable cookies, you can make your choice by accessing the “Cookie Settings” link within the footer section of the Websites.
 
Alternatively, you may be able to control whether or not you accept cookies, and to delete all cookies, through the settings of your own web browser or smartphone. Please note, however, that disabling or deleting cookies in your browser may result in preventing access to some of the features of the Websites, and we decline any liability in this respect.
 
Information about how to manage your web browser settings to allow, block, or remove cookies is often provided in the "help" menu of your browser. For additional information on how to manage cookies, you may access the following sections and links for the most popular browsers:
 
Please note that your choice to refuse cookies is specific to the browser that you are using. So, if you make a choice to opt out from one device and you want your opt-out to apply to a different device as well, you will have to opt out from that device too.
 
Additionally, third parties that provide interest-based advertising can participate in one of the following self-regulatory programs for online behavioural advertising, with corresponding user opt-outs:
 
If at any time you do not want your personal data to be used to allow third-parties to display advertisements or to personalise advertisements displayed to you, you can adjust your settings by using the tools provided by third-party providers (e.g., Google, Facebook) or through one of the above self-regulatory programs for online behavioural advertising, if the third party participates in one of them.
 
Most mobile devices give you control over tracking for advertising purposes via the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (specific information for iOS devices here) and the new iOS App Tracking Transparency (see here) or the “Opt-out of Interest-Based Ads” setting (specific information for Android devices here).
