2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files, stored by your browser onto your computer or mobile device. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work in a better, more efficient way. They’re able to do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use of a website more convenient.

3. WHY DO WE USE THEM?

We use cookies to enhance your experience when you use our website. For example, by saving your language preference and remembering it the next time you use our website, authentication, performance, and security.  With the information provided by cookies, we can adapt our website to your personal needs and introduce improvements to our website based on the way you, the user, want to use it.

We work with other third-party organisations to provide the services on our website. A third party is an organisation which is not hosted at the domain address in your browser when you visit our website.
