Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our App. We use a number of different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the webApp to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the App or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the webApp, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.

We use the following cookies to optimize your experience on our App and to provide our services.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such Apps as www.allaboutcookies.org.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioural Advertising” section above.
