What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.

How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for various purposes, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable you to navigate the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.

- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behavior on our website. This information includes the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and the time they spend on our website. We use this information to improve our website and to better understand our audience.
