Cookies Policy

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website.  This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

Cookies are small text files set on a site to help operate and support its functionality. Cookies collect and store certain information about the way a site is used, and can help a site integrate with other third party sites. We use the term 'cookies' to describe cookies and other technologies that operate in a similar way (such as pixels and tags).

Cookies can be set by the owner of the website (first party cookies) or, in some cases, by external third parties who the owner of the website allows to present information, run content or provide other functionality on its website, such as analytics (third party cookies).

We may also refer to ‘session cookies’, which expire at the end of a user's browsing session (usually when a user exits their browser), and ‘persistent cookies’, which are stored on your device for a longer period and in between sessions.

If you are based in the UK, there is lots of useful information about cookies on the Information Commissioner's website.

We use the following cookies:

  • Essential cookies.  These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website.  These essential cookies are always enabled because our website won’t work properly without them.  They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.  You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our website.
  • Analytical cookies.  These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it.  This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Your consent to the use of analytical cookies is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your web browser to refuse cookies and you can also delete cookies in the settings of your web browser at any time. Please refer to the instructions of your individual web browser to learn how cookies can be deleted.

Please note that the following third parties may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) ("Google"), to analyse use of the Website.

For this purpose, a cookie is stored on your device with your consent. This cookie collects data such as browser and device information, your IP address, websites visited and the date and time of the server request in order to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for the website operator and provide the website provider with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. In addition, we may provide Google with information on the status and scope of your consent.

We use the data collected to understand how users interact with different pages and features of the Website to optimise this Website. The use of Google Analytics involves transfers of personal data to the United States. Google LLC is participating in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and therefore an adequate level of data protection is ensured for a data transfer to Google LLC in the US, which is attested by an adequacy decision of the European Commission and through the UK's data bridge with the US through the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

The use of the cookie and the processing of your personal data for the purpose above is based on your consent.

Google may also process the data concerning you in order to predict the behaviour of other users who have not consented to the use of cookies and the processing of their data for personalised marketing, using algorithms (for machine learning) that can also be trained using this data, in particular their potential responses to advertisements.

Disabling Google Analytics

If you are uncomfortable with the use of Google Analytics cookies, you can follow this link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) and download and install a browser plugin to deactivate the collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by Google Analytics.

TELLING US ABOUT YOUR COOKIES PREFERENCES

You can change your cookie settings at any time by managing your cookie settings in your browser settings. You can accept all cookies by clicking "Accept All" or reject all cookies (except essential cookies – see below) by clicking "Reject All". You can personalise your choices by selecting which cookies you are willing to grant consent by clicking “Save Preferences".

Our website will only use essential cookies without your permission – we need your permission to set all other cookies.

The cookie consent mechanism does not affect the way that essential cookies are used. As we set out above, if you would prefer essential cookies not to be set, you can change your browser settings but this may affect the functionality or performance of the Website, or prevent you from using certain services provided through our Website.

PERSONAL DATA

To the extent that any of the cookies collect personal data, please see our Privacy Policy for details as to how this personal data is used.
