Strictly Necessary cookies are essential to let you move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas, shopping baskets and online billing. These cookies allow our website to provide services at your request.
These cookies don't gather any information that could be used for marketing to you or remember your preferences/ID, other than for your current session.

This website sets performance cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices a visitor makes (such as the visitor’s name, language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which the visitor is currently located.
We will not use functionality cookies to target you with adverts on other websites.
Where our functionality cookies are managed by third parties, we don't allow them to use the cookies for any purpose other than those listed above.
Targeting Cookies ("Advertising Cookies")
Targeting cookies collect information about your browsing habits to deliver adverts which are more relevant to you and your interests. They also measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Targeting cookies are used to:
-
Link to social networks like Facebook, who may subsequently use information about your visit to target advertising to you on other websites.
-
Provide advertising agencies with information on your visit so that they can present you with adverts that you may be interested in
All of these cookies are managed by third parties, and you may alternatively use the third parties' own tools to prevent these cookies.
This website sets targeting cookies. These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation.
