Cookies are a fundamental part of the internet experience today. They help us to tailor your interactions with our website to your unique preferences and assist us in providing a seamless and personalised experience. In this policy, we aim to demystify the concept of cookies, explain their function, and inform you of your choices regarding their use. As a business dedicated to delivering top-notch promotional campaigns, we understand the importance of clarity and transparency, especially when it pertains to your digital experience on our platform.

 

Definition of Cookies

Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you browse websites. They are instrumental in enabling website functionality and providing enriched user experiences.

There are two main kinds of cookies:

  1. First-party cookies are set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. Moreover, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
  2. Third-party cookies are set by a party other than the website you’re visiting. These might be used for cross-site tracking, retargeting and ad-serving purposes.

 

Types of Cookies We May Use

Here is an overview of the types of cookies we may use on our website:

  • Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the core operation of our website. They enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas.
  • Preferences Cookies: Also known as ‘functional cookies’, these allow our website to remember choices you’ve made in the past, like what language you prefer or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.
  • Statistics Cookies: These collect information about how you use our website, for instance, which pages you go to most often, and if you get error messages from certain pages. These cookies aggregate information and are not used to identify you. The data is only used to improve how a website works.
  • Marketing Cookies: These are used to track your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and advertising more relevant to your interests.

Here’s an outline of the different ways in which we employ cookies:

  • Enhancing Website Performance: We monitor how our website is used, which pages are visited, and which links are clicked. This helps us to optimise the website’s layout, design, and the services we offer.
  • Personalisation: By recognising you when you return to our site, we can customise our content and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). This makes your interactions with our site more personal and effortless.
  • Marketing Analysis: We analyse the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. Cookies help us to see how you interact with our marketing communications, which aids us in making them more relevant to you.
  • Advertising: We use cookies to gather data about your browsing habits and preferences. This allows us to display promotional material that is more likely to be of interest to you, thereby creating a more engaging and tailored promotional experience.

We recognise the importance of your privacy and provide you with the facility to manage the cookies placed on your device. Here’s how you can control the cookie settings:

  1. Managing Cookies Directly on Our Site: You can review and adjust your cookie preferences at any time on our cookie policy page. We offer a straightforward way to manage the cookies you’ve consented to and withdraw your consent if you change your mind.
  2. Managing Cookies in Your Browser: You may also control cookies through your web browser settings. Depending on your preferences, you can accept or refuse cookies, or set your browser to ask for your consent before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you require assistance, the ‘Help’ function within your browser should provide you with the necessary information, or you can visit AboutCookies.org for guidance across various browsers.

When you first visit our site, we will present you with a cookie consent banner that explains our use of cookies and asks for your explicit permission to place them on your device. Our system operates on a principle of informed consent, and we will only deploy cookies once you have given us your affirmative consent via our cookie banner.

  • Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent: Should you wish to revisit your cookie preferences, you can do so directly on this cookie policy page. Any changes you make to your consent will take effect immediately, and we will cease to use cookies for the categories you have opted out of. This ensures that you have continuous control over the information we collect and how we use it.
