C. Functionality cookies. These cookies allow the 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, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other WebSite.

D. Targeting cookies or advertising cookies. These cookies can be used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They can also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.

We use the services of Google Analytics and of Hotjar on the Site. Whilst these can be used for targeting and advertising (which is why this policy mentions this type of cookies), we only use Google Analytics and Hotjar cookies to track how visitors interact with the Site.

In particular the cookies track:

  1. where a visitor came from;

  2. Authentication information

  3. what they did on the site

  4. whether they filled in a contact form.

  5. What are their notification preferences


Armed with this information we can better understand the user experience, and we can use these insights to enhance the Site.
