What are cookies?
The collection of information through the employment of "cookies" is a practice that we may undertake. Cookies, in this context, represent diminutive data files that are housed within the hard drive of your computing apparatus or mobile device by a given App. Our usage encompasses two primary categories of cookies: session cookies, which have a transitory existence and expire upon the closure of your web browser, and persistent cookies, which endure on your computing apparatus or mobile device until you choose to remove them. These cookies are instrumental in providing you with an enhanced, individualized, and interactive experience during your interaction with our App.

Cookies are instrumental in enhancing the functionality and personalization of your web experience, thereby facilitating an enriched user interaction with our App.
Cookies we use
Our App uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:
Type of cookie | Purpose |
Essential Cookies | These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our App and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to secure areas of our App and help the content of the pages you request load quickly. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services. |
Functionality Cookies | These cookies allow our App to remember choices you make when you use our App, such as remembering your language preferences, remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of our App which you can customize. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our App. |
Analytics and Performance Cookies | These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our App and how users use our App. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. It includes the number of visitors to our App, the Apps that referred them to our App, the pages they visited on our App, what time of day they visited our App, whether they have visited our App before, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our App more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our App. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. It is only used to improve how our App works. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsCookies You can find out more about how Google protects your data here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Targeted and advertising cookies | These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, and with our permission, third party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show adverts which we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third party Apps. You can disable cookies which remember your browsing habits and target advertising at you by visiting http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices. If you choose to remove targeted or advertising cookies, you will still see adverts but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to remove cookies by the companies listed at the above link, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored adverts from companies that are not listed. |
