We use first-party and third-party Tracking Technologies. First-party Tracking Technologies are set directly by us, while third-party Tracking Technologies are set by another organisation, such as an analytics provider, advertiser or business partner.
You can choose and modify the types of Tracking Technologies to which you consent by using our cookie consent mechanism, accessible at the bottom of each page.
We use Tracking Technologies that perform the following functions:
Functional Tracking Technologies
These Tracking Technologies allow the Services to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
If you do not allow these Tracking Technologies, some or all of these services may not function properly. The Functional Tracking Technologies we use are set out in the table below.
Targeting Tracking Technologies
These Tracking Technologies may be set through our Services by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests, provide a more personalised service, execute advertising campaigns, show you relevant advertising and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
They are usually placed by advertisers or advertising networks and provide information about the people who see and interact with their adverts, visit their websites or use their apps.
A guide to behavioural advertising and online privacy is available from Your Online Choices. The Targeting Tracking Technologies we use are set out in the table below.
Performance Tracking Technologies
These Tracking Technologies allow us to collect information about your online activity, including the duration of your use of the Services, the number of visits, traffic sources, behavioural data and content engagement.
This information helps us measure and improve the performance of our Services, understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Services. The Performance Tracking Technologies we use are set out in the table below.
Strictly Necessary Tracking Technologies
These Tracking Technologies are necessary for the Services to function, provide the Services to you or comply with the law, including the security requirements of data protection legislation. They cannot be switched off through our systems.
We do not need to obtain your consent to use Strictly Necessary Tracking Technologies. They are usually set in response to actions that amount to a request for Services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or completing a form.
You can configure your browser to block or alert you about these Tracking Technologies, but some parts of the Services may not function correctly. The Strictly Necessary Tracking Technologies we use are set out in the table below.
