WHAT KINDS OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
Two different types of cookie can be used:

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
- Strictly necessary cookies – Allows for website navigation and application usage, as well as access to secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, the services required can not be provided.
- Analytical Cookies – Used anonymously for the purpose of collecting data for and analysing statistics in order to improve the functioning of the website.

- Third-party cookies – Measure application success and third-party advertising effectiveness. They can also be used to customise a widget using user data.
- Advertising Cookies – Provide users with adverts that match their interests. These cookies are used as a means through which to target advertising campaigns, taking into account user tastes, as well as limiting the number of times you see any one ad, helping to measure the effectiveness of advertising and the success of the way in which the website is laid out.
