Cookie policy

This page explains the cookie policy of this website and provides information on the cookies used at this website.

 

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small snippet of text that a website asks your browser to store. All cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser. Cookies can be removed in two ways: automatically, when they expire, or when you manually delete them. We’ve included more details below to help you understand what kinds of cookies we use.

​

Does this website use cookies?

Yes, with the primary purpose to make the website work more effectively.

​

What kinds of cookies do you use and why?

We use different kinds of cookies for various reasons:

Session cookies – these are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser. We use session cookies to grant access to content.

Persistent cookies – these usually have an expiration date far into the future and thus stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies to better understand usage patterns so we can improve the site for our customers. This information is anonymised – when we look at the data, in other words, we look at patterns, but we do not see individuals’ personally identified information (PII).

​

What other cookies might I encounter at this website?

There are also limited third-party cookies on the site. These cookies could be session or persistent and are set by third parties like Google and Facebook. To ensure the best user experience, we restrict the use of third-party cookies to trusted partners. For example, we currently allow:

Audience measurement and validation – We use services such as Google Analytics to understand how many people come and what is popular which helps us improve the website. No personally identifiable information (PII) is stored and site usage is always looked at on an aggregate (and anonymous) level.

​

What kinds of cookies do you not use?

We do not use re-targeting cookies and do not use flash cookies (sometimes known as local shared objects or LSOs). We do not allow third-party advertising networks to drop cookies on our site to behaviourally target advertising to our users, either.

​

Do you use any so-called “intrusive” cookies?

No. We don’t use re-targeting cookies or flash cookies or any other kind of cookie that can capture personally identifiable information (PII).

​

Do you use cookies to sell customer information?

No.

​

Will the site work if I disable cookies?

You can browse this site with cookies disabled, though some interactions may not work.
