What do you need to know about cookies?

Our Services use cookies and/or other similar technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons to collect and store certain information (in this Privacy Policy we refer to all these technologies as “Trackers”). These typically involve pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you. Trackers enable you to be remembered when using that computer or device to interact with websites and online services and can be used to manage a range of features and content as well as storing searches and presenting personalised content.

Our Services use Trackers, either alone or in combination with each other, to create a unique device ID, and to distinguish you from other users of our Services.

We provide or set some Trackers on your device while you are visiting our websites, while some are provided or set by our partners.

Please note that normally it is not possible to identify you based on the data collected using Trackers, so they are not considered personal data. Whenever it is possible to identify you based on these data, we inform you that we are processing your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We use “necessary” Trackers because, without them (and the data collected via them) our website functions you request will not work, so using them (and collecting data via them) is in our legitimate interest (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights). Our legitimate interest is to be able to provide you the Services you requested. We use all other types of Trackers (and collect the data via those Trackers) with your consent. At any time you can provide, change or withdraw your consent to these Trackers via the relevant privacy choices panel available on the Website.

For detailed information on the Trackers we use, particularly their name, duration, data processed, place of processing, and our partner placing them, please refer to our Cookie Policy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/16658268/cookie-policy. For further information on recipients and data transfers in relation to Trackers, please refer to our Privacy Policy, or our partners’ privacy policies linked in the Cookie Policy.

Changes to this Policy

Any changes we make to our Privacy Policy in future will be posted on this page. This Policy was last updated on February 2025.
