How we use cookies

We use cookies for several purposes:

• To personalize the content and advertising you see
• To remember your preferences and settings

Types of cookies we use

There are two main types of cookies:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

Performance cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

Functionality cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you are using.

Targeting cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.

How to control cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

You can also opt out of some third-party vendors, including those that provide analytics and advertising cookies, by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt Out page.
