This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve our Website. By using this Website, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Notice. You will have seen a pop up to this effect on your first visit to the Website. Although it will not usually appear on subsequent visits, you may withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions below, including by changing your browser settings so that cookies from this Website cannot be placed on your device. Please note that some of the services on the Website will not function so well if cookies are disabled. After your initial visit to the Website we may change the cookies we use.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device for accessing the internet, whenever you visit a site. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. We use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving the user experience. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser and persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed (for example to remember your user preferences when you return to the site).

How and Why the Website Uses Cookies

The cookies we use are completely safe. In fact, many of them are used purely to provide important security features such as protecting your data. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better Website and service, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not.

We use cookies to safeguard your privacy when you’re browsing the Website. We also use them to give you the best experience when you visit this Website. By using cookies, we can make it easier for you to do many things, such as managing your accounts, policies, or login details, and selecting for products and services. Cookies can also allow us to tailor the content of this Website so we can show you services or adverts we think you may be interested in. 

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website and services in order to tailor it to user needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Finally, we use analytics cookies, including third party analytics cookies, to help us make the Website better for those who visit it regularly. They help us work out what users like and don’t like and how we can improve things for you.

What Cookies Do We Use On Our Website ?

Essential or “strictly necessary” cookies: as you might guess, essential cookies enable essential functionality of the site to work, for example ensuring that you can move between pages on the Website securely. This category of cookies cannot be disabled. For example, session cookies needed to transmit the Website, authentication cookies, and security cookies.

Use of IP Addresses and Web Logs

We may also use your IP address and browser type to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Website and to improve the service we offer to you. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer on the internet. Your IP address might also be used to gather broad demographic information. We may perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are coming from (e.g. google.com) to more accurately gauge our users’ demographics.

Keeping your Personal Information Safe

Our cookies do not store personal information such as your name, address, phone number or email in a format that can be read by others. The cookies we use cannot read or search your computer, smartphone or web-enabled device to obtain information about you or your family, or read any material kept on your hard drive. We do use a small number of cookies that store encrypted versions of information where you have asked us to, such as the Login OTP created to identify you as you navigate through pages whilst you are active on the Website.

How to Manage Cookies Through the Browser?

The ability to enable, disable or delete cookies can be completed at browser level. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” facility). Disabling a cookie or category of cookie does not delete the cookie from your browser; you will need to do this yourself from your browser. If you have disabled one or more cookies, we may still use information collected from cookies prior to your disabled preference being set, however, we will stop using the disabled cookie to collect any further information. Please note that if you activate the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our Website.

Cookies Policy Does Not Cover Third Party Websites.
