In general, these technologies can serve a wide variety of purposes, such as recognising you as a user, obtaining information about your browsing habits or personalising the way content is displayed.

Some cookies are controlled and managed by the website owner (known as ‘first-party cookies’), whilst others are managed by third parties (known as ‘third-party cookies’), for example, because these third parties provide a tool or functionality integrated into the website.

The specific ways in which we use these technologies are described below.
