A cookie is a small text file, typically of letters and numbers (with an ID tag), which may be placed on your computer or mobile when you access our Platforms. Cookies generally allow a website to recognise your device and browsing activity if you return to it, or if you visit another website which recognises the same cookies.

Different cookies perform different functions. Necessary cookies help you navigate through pages, “storing preferences” information and functionality cookies generally make the website easier to use. They exist just for the life of your current visit whilst you have your browser open. They are not stored on your hard disk and are erased when you exit your web browser.

Others, such as targeting and advertising cookies, identify products, goods or services you may be interested in and are used to provide you with tailored advertising and performance cookies help us collect aggregated information on how people use our Platforms.

Social buttons

On some of our Platforms you will see ‘social buttons’. These allow you to share or bookmark pages on our site.

Social media sites such as Twitter, Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn may collect information about your internet activity. They may record if you visit our Platforms and the specific pages you are on if you are logged into their services, even if you don’t click on the button. Where this happens, we may be joint controllers with the social media site over the data transmitted to them from our website. However they will be a separate controller for any subsequent use of your Personal Data. You can exercise your rights in relation to jointly controlled Personal Data against either us or the social media partner.

For their subsequent use you should check the privacy and cookies policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
