Why do we have a Cookie Policy?

This Cookie Policy sits in line with the UK`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) and its EU counterpart the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”). In accordance with them, we need to obtain your consent when using certain types of cookies. This however only applies to cookies that are non-essential for the operation of our website, namely Functional, Performance, Analytical and Advertising Cookies.

 

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is stored on the hard drive of your computer, smartphone, or other device. With the help of this file, it is possible to recognise your device/IP address and to reuse information about pages you have already visited or to record functions you have used.

 

We use both our own and third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are used by external partners, such as partners who provide content for our websites, suppliers who are responsible for the various features of the website, or programs we use for our analytics and marketing. Through these third-party cookies, these external partners may collect data, such as your IP address and information about your browsing behaviour.

 

What are cookies for?

We use cookies to track you and your behaviour on our website, social media platforms, and third-party websites so that we can provide you with a better user experience on our website and remember the choices you make when using it, such as your choice of country. We also use cookies to continually improve the content and functionality on our websites for you. In addition, we use cookies to tailor our marketing to your interests and to compile statistics on the use of our websites.

 

Overall, the cookies can be divided into the following four categories:

 

  • Essential cookies

These cookies are essential to allow you to browse our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website, providing requested services, and storing a user's cookie settings. For example, allowing you to keep your items in your shopping cart while you shop online are an example of essential cookies.

 

  • Functional cookies

These cookies are used to store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location.

 

  • Performance cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use a website, such as which pages you have visited, and which links you have clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. All data is aggregated and therefore anonymised. Their sole purpose is to improve our website's functionality.

 

  • Analytical cookies

We, as well as third-party vendors acting on our behalf, may use first-party cookies, third-party cookies, or other third-party identifiers to collect anonymous analytics and statistics about our website and how our visitors use them in order to help us improve our website. Our web servers' storage logs may collect domain names, Internet Protocol addresses, web browser types, and certain data from visitors to the Sites.

 

  • Advertising Cookies

Advertising Cookies are used to deliver customised advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very irritating.
