Cookies Policy
Our websites use cookies, which amongst other things, help us to improve your experience of our website and to ensure that it performs as you expect it to. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit.
We also use technologies that are similar to cookies on our website, including pixels.
For simplicity, when we refer to cookies in this cookie policy, we mean cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies improve your experience of using a website, for example, by remembering your preference settings and tracking your use of a website so that it can be improved to meet your needs. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
How we use cookies
Our cookies help us make the website function as you would expect with convenience of remembering settings between visits, allowing you to share pages and monitor performance to help us continuously improve our websites for you. We do not use cookies to collect any personally identifiable information without your express permission.
What personal data will be processed about you?
As part of us and our third party cookie providers implementing cookies on our website, we might process data relating to your use of the website, your online journey before, during and after you leave the website as well as information relating to your device settings. For example, this may include your internet protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit on our website, time zone settings and location, any unique identifiers, browser plug-in type and version, operating system and platform and other information relating to the devices you use to access this website.
How do I reject and/or delete these cookies?
Websites must get consent to implement cookies on your computer or mobile device unless the cookies are strictly necessary to provide services to you.
If you do not want us to implement non-essential cookies, you can reject non-essential cookies via the cookie banner on our website and can set your cookies preferences by following the instructions below.
Please note that rejecting some non-essential cookies might affect some functionalities of the website. For example, you might not be able to submit contact forms.
Browser settings
All browsers permit that you reject and/or delete cookies either one at a time or all at once. The procedure for this depends on the browser you use. Please remember to reject/delete cookies in all the browsers you use to visit our website.
Duration of cookies
The table below explains what cookies we use on our website, why we use them and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie e.g. “functionality” or “analytical” cookies. We also state in the table whether a cookie is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. The difference is that:
- Persistent cookies remain on your device between browsing sessions. They remain active and store information about you after you have left the website. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a “persistent cookie” is used on a website to remember your log-in details and other information you might have entered when you purchased a product during a prior visit to the website, so that you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
- Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and finishes when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

Some of the cookies listed below are first party cookies that we use on our website.
However, we also have cookies on our website that are set by third parties, over which we have no control. For example, Shopify, Google and Pandectes set cookies on our website.
