Cookies Policy

This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our platform, which includes our website and any other related websites or mobile applications that link to this policy (collectively referred to as “our website”). Please note that some features of our website may not function properly if your web browser does not accept the types of cookies used by us.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be read both by the originating website and by third-party services. We use various types of cookies, including essential cookies (required for our platform to function), session cookies (used during your browsing session), persistent cookies (used after your session has ended), functional cookies (to enhance user experience), analytics and performance cookies (to measure traffic and improve our website), preference and language settings, login/session continuity, device recognition, security-related cookies, browser storage technologies, third-party integrations for marketing or communication purposes.

Essential Cookies

These are essential to the functioning of our platform. They include features like secure browsing, user authentication, and storing user preferences. Without these cookies, you may experience issues with our website’s functionality, including difficulty logging in or accessing certain areas.

Session Cookies

Used only during your active session on our website, these cookies allow for a smoother browsing experience by temporarily storing information related to navigation and interaction with our platform. These are typically deleted when you close your browser window.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain stored on your device after your initial visit has ended, allowing us to remember specific preferences or settings chosen during a session or multiple sessions. This helps tailor our content and features more precisely to individual users' needs over time.

Functional Cookies

We use these to enhance the user experience by storing information about your interactions with our platform and customizing the content presented on subsequent visits. They can also be used for tasks like maintaining an updated shopping cart or providing recommendations based on past preferences.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Used to measure visitor traffic patterns, these cookies help us understand how users navigate through different areas of our platform, which in turn enables us to improve the user experience, enhance website performance, optimize content relevance, and implement changes where needed for better outcomes.

Prefrence and Language Settings

These cookies are used to store your language preferences and other personal choices made on the site. This is part of our effort to provide a personalized experience tailored to individual user needs.

Login/Session Continuity Cookies

We use these to keep track of whether you're already logged into our system, saving unnecessary steps in navigating through protected areas and improving security by minimizing repetitive login requests.

Device Recognition and Security-Related Cookies

These cookies help protect against fraud or unauthorised access attempts by storing information about devices that regularly visit our site. They also contribute to a secure environment by detecting potential threats in real-time.

Browsing Functionality with Cookies Disabled

While many of the platform's essential features will remain accessible even if you disable cookies, some functions may be compromised or not fully functional due to the lack of crucial data retention and analysis. This is particularly true for personalisation services based on browsing history.

Clearing Cookies vs Browser Storage Technologies

We recommend clearing browser storage regularly as part of general maintenance routine, especially if you share devices among others or have concerns about your online activity being tracked. Browsing data can be managed through various tools provided by web browsers themselves for these purposes.
