How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file that requests permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or notifies you when you visit a particular site. Cookies enable web applications to respond to you as an individual by gathering and remembering information about your preferences, allowing the web application to tailor its operations to your needs, likes, and dislikes.
We use first-party traffic log cookies in conjunction with Google Analytics to identify which pages are being visited on our website. Google Analytics collects anonymized data, which means it cannot be used to identify individual users. This information helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website to better cater to customer needs. Google Analytics processes this data for statistical analysis and reporting purposes, and the data is stored in accordance with Google's data retention policies, which typically expire after two years. While we can request the removal of data from Google Analytics, the process is subject to Google's data management policies and procedures.
We also use cookies from Microsoft Clarity and Bing for analytics, advertising, and performance purposes. These cookies help us recognize unique web browsers visiting our website and Microsoft sites and enable us to collect user information for analytics, advertising, and site optimization.
If you prefer not to have your data tracked by Google Analytics, you can opt out by using Google's browser add-on, which prevents your data from being used for analytics purposes. For more information on Google's data handling and protection, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
In summary, cookies assist us in providing you with a better website experience by allowing us to monitor the pages you find useful and those you do not. A cookie does not grant us access to your computer or any personal information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
You have the option to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Please note that doing so may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.
