Categories of cookies.
Based on what function cookies have and the purpose for which cookies are used, there are three categories of cookie:
Strictly necessary cookies
Essential in order to enable you to navigate through the website and use its features. Without these cookies, some services – for example, remembering previous actions (such as entered text, and unsaved shopping baskets) when navigating back to a page – cannot be provided. Your consent is not required for the use of strictly necessary cookies.
Performance cookies
Gather information about how you use our website – for example, which pages you open most often. This data is used exclusively to optimise the performance of the website, and with it your experience. These cookies do not save information that would allow you to be identified. The collected information is aggregated, and therefore anonymous.
Functional cookies
Enable a website to save information which has already been entered (such as user names, languages choices etc, and preferences such as text size, fonts, and other customizable site elements), so that it can offer you improved and more personalised functions. Functional cookies are also used to enable features you request such as playing videos. These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Third-party cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics and analytics, deliver advertisements, and so forth.

Turning Cookies off
You are able to configure your browser or our website to restrict some or block all cookies if you wish, however if you disable cookies you may find this affects your ability to use certain parts of our website and services, including storing your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly.

If you’d like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse cookies, you can usually find these settings in the Options or Preferences menu of your browser, otherwise please visit the help pages of your web browser.
