We use cookies and other similar technologies on our website to provide you with a better experience and make it secure. We would also like to use additional cookies to provide personalised marketing on other websites and apps you use.

By using our website and online platforms (“websites”), you agree to us placing cookies on your computer, smartphone or other device. Here’s what you need to know about cookies, how and why we use them and how to manage your cookie settings.

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored in the memory of your computer or other device when you visit a website. The information stored on the cookie allows the website to recognise your device when you revisit a website or browse its pages. Cookies are used to make websites work or work more efficiently, but cookies alone cannot be used to identify you. The cookie itself does not keep any of the data it collects.
