When we talk about cookies in this Policy, this term includes these similar technologies.

1. What cookies do we use and why?
We use five different categories of cookies.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential to the operation of our services. Without these cookies, the services in question would not work properly (e.g. you wouldn't be able to navigate around the site or access certain types of content). These cookies cannot therefore be turned off.
- Functional Cookies. These cookies provide you with a better browsing experience based on the choices you make. We use these cookies to remember which account you used to sign into our Services, and what choices you make such as the country you visit our website from, language and search parameters. These can then be used to provide you with an experience more appropriate to your selections and to make the visits more tailored and pleasant.
- Performance Cookies. Performance cookies, which often include analytics cookies, collect information about your use of our services and enable us to improve the way they work. For example, performance cookies show us which are the most frequently visited pages on our website, allow us to see the overall patterns of usage, help us record any difficulties you have with our services and allow us to count the number of unique and returning visitors. We also use cookies to help you navigate within our website and travel back to pages more efficiently.
- Advertising Cookies. We use these cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to your interests. Third parties that serve ads on our behalf use cookies to help select the ads that are displayed to you and ensure that you do not see the same ads repeatedly. These cookies also measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
- Social Media Cookies. These cookies are used when you engage with our content on or through a social media site, such as Facebook or Twitter, and they allow us to see if you have visited our site or one of our online services after having visited one of our social media sites. You can control these cookies via your browser settings and possibly via the privacy settings for the applicable social media accounts.
Please visit our Cookie List for more information about the cookies we use.
