Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:

• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.
• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They allow websites to recognise you and carry information as you navigate between pages.

Cookies can also be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain). We primarily use first-party cookies and minimise the use of third-party cookies to protect your privacy.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Authentication and Security: To verify your identity when you log in, maintain your session, and protect against unauthorised access and fraudulent activity.
• Preferences: To remember your settings and preferences, such as language, currency, and display options, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
• Functionality: To enable features that enhance your experience, such as remembering items you've viewed or your checkout preferences.
• Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve our Services. This data is collected anonymously.
• Performance: To monitor and improve the performance and speed of our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies we use into three types:

4. Detailed Cookie Information

The following tables provide detailed information about the specific cookies we use:

5. Your Cookie Choices

You have choices about the cookies we use:

5.1 Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or customise your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website.

5.2 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the basic operation of our Services. Without these cookies, features like secure login and session management would not function.

5.3 Optional Cookies

You can choose to disable functional and analytics cookies. However, please note that disabling these cookies may affect your experience:

• Without functional cookies, we won't remember your preferences, and you may need to re-enter settings each visit
• Without analytics cookies, we won't be able to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve our Services

6. Browser Cookie Settings

In addition to our cookie consent tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete all or specific cookies
• Block all cookies or cookies from specific websites
• Block third-party cookies
• Accept all cookies
• Receive a notification when a cookie is set

Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from accessing certain features of our Services, including the ability to log in to your account.

7. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies to collect information:

7.1 Local Storage

We use browser local storage to store certain preferences and temporary data on your device. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or settings.

7.2 Log Files

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit our Services and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, device information, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use this information for security, troubleshooting, and analytics purposes.

7.3 Device Fingerprinting

For fraud prevention and security purposes, we may collect information about your device configuration (such as screen resolution, timezone, and installed fonts) to create a device "fingerprint". This helps us identify potentially fraudulent activity and protect your account. We do not use device fingerprinting for advertising purposes.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track the user. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.

However, as described in this policy, we do not engage in cross-site tracking or sell your data to third parties for advertising purposes, regardless of DNT settings.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

For material changes, we may also provide notice through our website or by other means. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
