Cookies Policy


What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit them. They're used to remember information about your browsing session and can be accessed by the website again during future visits.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site and improve its functionality. They help us tailor content, provide a seamless user experience, and maintain platform optimisation for efficient data transfer. Additionally, cookies enable features like login persistence and aggregated analytics information for performance optimisation.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of our website. These include:

  • Session IDs: to manage your browsing session
  • Security Tokens: for secure authentication processes
  • Login Persistence: to remember your username or ID after logging in

These cookies remain active during a single browser session and expire when you close your browser.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and stored only on the server-side. They're created each time you visit our site, containing information such as:

  • User ID
  • Authentication Status

Once you leave our website or close your browser, these session-specific data is automatically deleted.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain stored on your device after you've closed your browser and can be accessed during future visits. They help us track specific actions like:

  • Language Preferences
  • Location Selection

You have control over persistent cookie settings through your browser's preferences or by using a third-party tool to clear them.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable advanced features such as login persistence, language selection, and location-based recommendations on our site. They help us deliver a tailored experience based on user actions and browsing patterns.

  • Recommendations
  • Location-specific content

These cookies remain active for 30 days but can be adjusted or disabled through your browser's cookie management preferences.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect data on how you interact with our site to enhance performance and inform technical diagnostics. This information is used to:

  • Optimise page loading times
  • Improve navigation flows
  • Personalise recommendations based on user patterns

This type of cookie helps us make informed decisions about the development, maintenance, or changes in content or overall functionality.

Preference Settings

You can adjust your preference settings for language and country-specific content directly through our site's configuration menu. These choices will be stored as persistent cookies until you update them again.

  • Language Selection
  • Country Preferences

Please note that modifying these preferences does not impact existing browsing data but may affect how we serve future sessions based on those specific criteria.

Login/Session Continuity

For an uninterrupted experience, our site employs session persistence techniques. When you log in to your account, a persistent cookie stores your login information until the end of your browser session or up to 30 days after last interaction.

You can manage this feature by visiting your user preferences page and adjusting your settings according to your needs.

Browser Storage Technologies

In addition to cookies, modern browsers may store other local data for efficiency purposes. These technologies include:

  • IndexedDB
  • WebStorage

Both are used for storing structured data locally on the client side while improving performance through efficient cache management.

You can adjust or clear these types of storage using your browser's developer tools or built-in settings preferences.

Third-Party Integrations

Our site might feature integrations with external services, such as social media plugins (e.g., Facebook Like buttons) and advertising platforms. Some of these third-party providers may use cookies to:

  • Track user actions across multiple sites
  • Analyse interaction patterns for targeted ads or promotional materials

Please note that data shared with these parties is subject to their respective privacy policies.

Marketing/Communication Preferences

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve your experience, we might ask for marketing preferences through a third-party widget on-site. This feature allows you to control communication channels and tailor content exposure based on expressed interests or language settings.

By using these integrated services, you'll be helping us refine future promotional materials aligned with individual user needs and preferences.

Cookie Consent Management

For regulatory compliance purposes and transparency, our site includes a cookie consent banner upon initial access. This allows users to:

  • Acknowledge existing cookies
  • View detailed information about specific types of stored data (persistent, session, functional)

You can find additional details on managing cookie permissions within your browser preferences.

Browser Cookie Controls and Clearing Disables Cookies

  • Privacy settings
  • Clear cache and history

We recommend that you regularly review these functions to ensure alignment with your desired privacy levels and browsing standards.

If enabled in the past, our cookie consent feature can be accessed again from your user preferences page or through re-activating the cookie banner upon a new visit.
