Cookies Policy

This policy explains how our websites, mobile apps and wi-fi portals use cookies.

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your personal computer, mobile or other device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to assist in the way websites work, as well as to provide information to the company that owns the website.

We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website, gather website visitor data and allow us to optimise website content and marketing so that it is more relevant to you and your interests. Allowing us to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of your computer, and does not allow us to see any personally identifiable data about you. Cookies in themselves do not identify you, just the computer or device you are using.

The information that we might collect from your device and store as cookies may include information about your device type, how your device has interacted with us, including the pages accessed and links clicked, how you navigate to and from our site and our content (such as which parts you click on and how long you spend on each page), your preferences, the services and/or products that you have viewed or searched for, website errors and response times. You can access and change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking on the cookie preferences link in the website footer.

Cookies we use:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. 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.
