There are two main types of cookies that we use – here’s what they do and why we use them.

(1) First party cookies – are put on your device directly by us when you visit this website. These are generally what are called ‘necessary’ cookies and perform a specific and necessary function. On this site, we have one cookie called cf-cookie-banner which is a cookie associated with the use of cookies. This cookie saves the user preference on use of cookies. This cookie is used for storing the acceptance of cookie policy by the visitors and is what’s known as a session cookie and is temporary.

(2) Third party cookies – these are the cookies that are placed on your device, not by us, the owners of the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system such as Google. Third-party cookies originate from a domain that’s different to the website being visited, meaning companies with a different domain name also place cookies on our website, to assist with our content marketing, publishing articles and to show you information that may be of interest to you. For example, when you visit our website, we may link to another company’s website such as Facebook. Some cookie-based technology providers do create and set these cookies via a script that is executed from the host domain, which makes them first-party cookies. Yet, for transparency and clarity we have named these third parties, as it is they that generates the script to enable this to be done. Thereby, companies with a different domain name place cookies on our website, to assist with our website security or marketing and to help us optimise this service and experience. These cookies allow us to improve the website user experience, they also help us measure the effectiveness and performance of our website and advertising campaigns. Below we describe the third-party cookies that are in use on this site and what their purpose is, and how long they last.
