What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

  • First party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
  • Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

Every time you visit our websites, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don’t have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: session cookies, analytics cookies, lead generation cookies and third party cookies.

1. Session Cookies

Session Cookies are only stored temporarily in the browser's memory, and are destroyed when it is closed down, although they will survive navigating away from the website they came from. As you move through the site, various pieces of information need to be stored in order for the site to function properly. We use a service provider called Amazon to ensure our site functions as performant as possible and is delivered to you as quickly as possible.

How do I control session cookies?

You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.

Please be aware that cookies are critical to the efficient working of the site. If you choose to disable cookies from this site, the functionality of the site may be greatly reduced.

2. Analytics Cookies

In order to monitor how our sites are performing, we collect data about page visits. This information is completely anonymous — we cannot determine who it came from. When we use this data, we look at numbers of visitors overall rather than individual visits.

Analytics information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.

We track, for example:

  • the numbers of visitors to individual pages
  • when pages were visited
  • how long users stayed on the page
  • the IP address of the user of the website
  • the page they came from;
  • technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers

More information about analytics cookies

We use cookies from different partners including Google to provide our analytics data. You can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data on their web site. You can also read Google’s full privacy policy.

How do I control analytics cookies?

Google provides a tool to opt-out of Google Analytics. This is available for all modern browsers in the form of a browser plugin. Additionally, you can control how cookies are set using your browser settings.

3. Lead Generation cookies

Information collected from cookies set in your device that qualify as personal data will be processed by Facebook, a company offering lead identification and ad targeting services.

The purpose for the processing of the personal data is that it enables Facebook to improve a service rendered to us and our website (e.g. “Lead Generation” service), by adding data to their database about you.

The data that is collected and used by Facebook to achieve this purpose is information about the IP-address from which you visited our website, and technical information that enables Facebook to tell apart different visitors from the same IP-address.

4. Third party cookies

The advertisements you see displayed on the site are generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads.

Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched holidays, adverts for holiday operators may subsequently appear on our sites.

We do not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can we view the data held by these advertisers. Online advertisers provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked. More information about the advertisers we use, and how to opt-out, is provided below.

Google

We display clips from Google related to our Company Profiles. You can view Google’s privacy policy. This page also allows you to control what cookies YouTube saves on your computer.

LinkedIn

We work with LinkedIn to optimise how LinkedIn ads are displayed. You can discover how LinkedIn protects your privacy relating to ads at its privacy policy.
