Strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites to support functions such as logging in and payment transactions.
Targeting cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store direct personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies enable us to provide additional functions to you on our site such as personalization and remembering your saved preferences.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used specifically for gathering data on how visitors use a website, which pages of a website are visited most often, or if they get error messages on web pages. These cookies monitor only the performance of the site as the user interacts with it.

However, we periodically and actively try to investigate them and categorize them into the appropriate cookie categories for the benefit of our users, partners and customers.
5. Other tracking technologies like web beacons
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors on a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an email including these. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and hence declining cookies will impair their functioning.
