3. What types of cookies do we use?

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are necessary for the website to work and to enable you to move around it and to use its features.  Without these cookies, websites will not perform as intended and we may not be able to provide our website or certain services or features you request.  We may place these cookies without your consent.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies collect information about your choices and preferences, and allow us to remember language or other local settings and customize the websites accordingly. By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website and, for example, the items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid.  We ask your permission to place these cookies.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about your use of the websites, and enable us to improve the way they work.  For example, analytics cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on a website, help us record any difficulties you have with a website, and show us whether our advertising is effective or not.  This allows us to see the overall patterns of usage, rather than the usage of a single person. We ask your permission to place analytics cookies.
