What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores on your device when you visit — typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that lets the site recognise your browser when you return, additional data serving the cookie's purpose, and the cookie's lifespan.

First-party cookies track activity on a specific site, while third-party cookies from other companies can track users across multiple websites using the same service.

Types of cookies and how we use them

• Essential cookies — enable core website functions like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment processing.
• Performance cookies — track website usage without collecting personal information, helping us understand visitor patterns and improve the experience.
• Functionality cookies — collect device information and user settings like language and timezone to provide customised content and services.
• Targeting/advertising cookies — determine relevant promotional content based on interests and limit how often you see an advertisement.

Third-party cookies on our site

We engage third-party providers such as analytics companies and content partners who may set cookies. We review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours.

How you can control or opt out of cookies

You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies. Most browsers accept cookies by default but allow you to refuse all cookies or receive a notification when a website attempts to set one. Multi-device users need to update these settings on each device. While some cookies can be blocked with minimal impact, blocking all cookies may prevent access to certain features and content.
