WHY DO WE HAVE A COOKIE POLICY?

We are required to ensure compliance with all the juristictions in which we operate. As such, this Cookie Policy aligns with our obligations under the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations ("PECR"). In accordance with these legal frameworks, we are obligated to inform you about the cookies we use and to obtain your consent for the use of certain categories of cookies, specifically Functional, Performance, Analytical, and Advertising Cookies. 

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your device's hard drive by a website. Each time you return to the same website, your browser retrieves and sends the relevant cookie(s) to the website’s server.

Cookies can be divided into the following two broad categories:

• Essential or Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
• Optional Cookies: These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies, the following distinctions are made:some text
  • Functional Cookies (sometimes called convenience cookies): These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.
  • Analysis and Performance Cookies: These cookies are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. They can track problems, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
  • Advertising Cookies or Targeting Cookies: These are used to deliver customized advertising to the user.

THE COOKIES WE USE

The PECR, require us to ask for your consent when using specific cookies (in particular any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, such as Functional Cookies, Analysis and Performance Cookies, and Advertising or Targeting Cookies, collectively referred to as “Optional Cookies”).

Further, under the UK Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), we need a legal basis for using personal data in relation to cookies. For Optional Cookies, the legal basis for processing personal data is your consent as well as our legitimate interest.

However, as we believe it is important for you to have full control over your online privacy, we have refrained from placing Optional Cookies on our website. As such, we are not currently required to obtain your consent. Nonetheless, this may change, and we encourage you to regularly check this policy for any updates.
