We use cookies and other online tracking technologies (such as web beacons, action tags and single-pixel gifs) all of which we refer to as ‘cookies’ for the purposes set out in this cookie notice, to distinguish you from other users of our Website.

We use first party cookies on this website. The cookies used on our website can be categorized in the following ways:
• Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable users to navigate the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services that you have requested, such as accessing your secure information, cannot be provided.
• Analytical or performance cookies: These cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it, for instance which pages users go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.
