Cookie Policy

Cookie Notice 

We use cookies and other online tracking devices (such as web beacons, action tags, Local Shared Objects (‘Flash cookies’) and single-pixel gifs) all of which We refer to as ‘cookies’ for the purposes of this cookie notice, to help Us recognise you, improve your experience, increase security and measure use and effectiveness of Our website.  Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them). 

Improve User Experience

We use cookies and similar technologies, to help Us recognise you, improve your experience, increase security, and measure use and effectiveness of Our Services.  Long duration cookies may be used when accessing the website. We use this information to analyse traffic patterns and improve the Service. If you prefer not to accept cookies into your browser, the help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, disabling cookies may result in certain parts of the website and resources not operating correctly or prevent you from taking full advantage of some of the features of the Service.  We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate Our site.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of Our website, and how We can improve the Service. In general, Google Analytics collects information such as visits to a website, what pages are visited, and what other website you visited immediately prior to coming to a particular website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit a website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with other Personal Information identifying you. Although Google Analytics places a long duration cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit a website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to Our website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. Google utilises the data collected to track and examine the use of the website, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected on Our website to contextualise and personalise the ads of its own advertising network. To more fully understand how Google may use the data it collects on Our website, please review the Google article “How Google uses data when you use Our partners' sites or apps,” located on Google’s website [here] or any successor URL.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal whereby you may indicate your preference regarding tracking and cross-site tracking. Although We do not currently employ technology that recognises DNT signals, We will only process your Personal Information in accordance with this Notice.

Analyse Website’s Performance

We collect Personal Information, on an individual and collective basis, to track and analyse preferences and trends, improve the quality of the Service, evaluate possible new features, functionality and services, and improve Our Service. We collect information when you use Our website, and may use third party analytics tools to evaluate user traffic.  For example, We collect information when you view a page or click on a link.  Additionally, We collect log in information about devices used to access Our Service, including IP addresses.

  • Essential cookies: These cookies are essential in order to enable users to navigate the web site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services that you have requested, such as shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.

  • Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how users use a website, for instance which pages users go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a user. The information these cookies collect is anonymous and only used to improve how a website works.
  • Functional cookies: These cookies allow a website to remember preferences (such as language or region) and offer improved and customised functions. The information that these cookies collect can be anonymous and they may not record your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Social Media Cookies These cookies allow you to share what you’ve been doing on the website on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. These cookies are not within Our control.  Please refer to the respective privacy policies for how their cookies work.
