Collection of Cookies and Use of Other Technologies within Company websites
Understanding Cookies: Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are typically used to remember aspects of your visits, such as your preferences or login status. Cookies can be "session" based, which last only while your browser is open, or "persistent," which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. This notice details both types and their uses on our website.
(1) Website Function Cookies
Session cookies
The Company website will primarily set session cookies. Session cookies allow websites to remember information from page to page so the user does not have to input that information more than once. The prime example of when session cookies are used is during a purchase from an internet shop – a session cookie would be used to remember what the user had put in their basket so that it would be carried through to checkout.
Session cookies will normally be deleted by your browser when the browser is closed.
Analytic cookies
Some parts of this website use third party analytics service (see section two of the Privacy and Cookie Policy) which also place cookies on your computer. The information generated by these cookies about your use of this website will be transmitted to and stored by them.
The Company will not use the statistical analytics tools to track or to collect personally identifiable information of visitors to this website. The Company will not associate any data gathered with any personally identifying information from any source as part of our use of the statistical analytics tools.

Hotjar analytics

(2) Interaction with External Websites Not Affiliated
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
(3) Implementation of Web Beacon and Pixel Tag Technologies
