As noted above, if you disable Cookies, you may experience reduced functionality or be prevented from using some or all of our Websites. WHAT IS A COOKIE? A Cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit certain websites. Cookies provide a way for the Websites to recognise users and keep track of the users’ preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preference) over a period of time, so users don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever they come back to the websites. Cookies perform essential functions to improve a user’s browsing experience. You do not need to have Cookies turned on to visit most of our Websites. However, having Cookies turned on should allow for a better, personalised experience, and is required for certain parts of the Websites’ functionality. Consequently, blocking all or certain Cookies may impact your experience of our Websites and certain services or features thereof may not be available to you. WHO SETS COOKIES? Cookies may be set on our Websites by us or by third parties providing certain services to us such as analytics and advertising services. Cookies may also be set by another website prior to or during your visit to our Websites. . These are known as ‘first party’ and ‘third party’ Cookies. First party Cookies belong to the website domain that appears in the browser address bar. Third party Cookies belong to website domains that are different from the one shown in the address bar. Some web pages can feature content from third-party domains (such as banner ads). Other sites may also set Cookies on your device during a visit to one of our Websites. These sites will be approved partners of ours listed in the below cookie list. Any information collected by these approved partners using third-party Cookies will be managed and controlled by the third-party partners according to their privacy policy. HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST? Cookies can be placed either for an individual “session” or on a “persistent” basis. “Session” Cookies are temporary and will expire at the end of a browser session; that is, when you leave a website. Session Cookies allow a website to recognize you and carry information as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website efficiently. “Persistent Cookies” remain in the Cookie file of your browser even after you leave a website and after the browser is closed. These Cookies remain valid until their set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). These Cookies allow a website to collect and analyze (on an aggregated basis) traffic and use of the website, monitor the system and improve operating performance. For example, they enable a website to recognize you on your return, remember your preferences and provide tailored services to you. For more information about Cookies, how they work, why they are so useful and how to disable them, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org. The duration of the Cookies we use on our website is specified in the below cookie list.

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.
