Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your browser or device by websites or apps you visit. They can adapt and personalize the website experience to your preferences or support the functioning of certain features. Cookies help in various ways, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and improving the user experience.
Types of Cookies Used on Our Website
Our website uses several types of cookies for different purposes:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function and deliver you a safe, uninterrupted experience. They enable core site functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services like shopping baskets and e-billing cannot be provided.
-
Performance Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information on the site’s usage, for example, which pages are most popular, why a page may not be working, or if a feature is affecting user experience. Performance cookies don’t collect personal information about you and are only used to improve how our website works.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to the layout so that you don’t have to repeat them when returning to the site.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These are placed by us or our advertising partners via our services. These cookies may be used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, but can also limit the number of times you see an ad and help us measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. If you are not logged into one of our sites, they do not directly identify you, but they may generate a unique keyword which is anonymously tracked and monitored.

Our site may host third-party cookies for purposes such as monitoring performance and user experience, understanding which parts of our websites are most interesting or useful to you, and tailoring advertising based on your preferences. These cookies may come from third-party service providers, advertisers, or partners.
Consent and Control
