2.1. We use:

• Temporary cookies: these are browser session cookies that are erased from your device’s memory when you close your internet browser or turn your computer off; and
• Persistent cookies: these remain stored on your device until they expire, unless you delete them before that time.

2.2. We group the cookies on our website into two categories:

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

2.3. We utilise third-party service providers to help us track the activity on our website. These third parties may use temporary cookies and/or web beaconing technology to facilitate such tracking, but the data would not be tracked in a personally identifiable way.

Third parties whose products or services are accessible from our website may also use cookies, and we advise you to check their privacy and cookie policies for information about their cookies and other privacy practices.
