We use the cookies as follows:

  • essential cookies as the strictly necessary cookies for the site’s operation, including, for instance, log into secure areas or making payments via the site;

  • analytical / performance cookies to allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to the site and to see how they access and use the site, helping us to improve and optimise how we deliver our services via the site; 

  • functionality cookies to recognise you when you return to the Site, which enables Us to personalise the Site’s content for you, such as greeting with you by name or display the Site’s content in the language you chose for your last visit of the Site; and

  • targeting cookies to record your visits to the Site, including pages and links you visited and followed, which will be used to enable us to display contents, including advertisements and promotions relatively relevant to your interests, which may be shared with third parties for the same purpose.

We may engage and use third parties, such as online traffic analysis services providers, throughout the operation by you or us on the Site, who may also set cookies on your browser or hardware, which are likely non-essential cookies that you can disable or block them individually and generally through your browser setting.
