3. First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are placed by the website you are visiting.
Third-party cookies are placed by another organisation that provides services or content through the website. These may include website-hosting, analytics, video, mapping or social-media providers.
We do not control how third parties use information collected through their own cookies. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them. They may be used to remember your settings and preferences between visits.
5. Types of cookies we use

• Maintain security;

• Prevent fraud and misuse;

• Balance website traffic;

• Process information entered into forms;

• Store cookie-consent choices;

• Maintain website stability; and

• Diagnose essential technical problems.

Essential cookies do not require consent because the website cannot operate properly without them.
You may be able to block essential cookies through your browser, but doing so could prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and provide enhanced features.
They may remember:

• Display preferences;

If third-party content is embedded directly into a page, the provider may place cookies or receive technical information about your visit. Where consent is required, non-essential embedded content and its associated cookies will not be activated until you accept the relevant cookie category.
Following an ordinary link to another website may allow that website to place its own cookies after you arrive there.

7. Cookie duration
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others may remain for a defined period so that the website can remember your choices or recognise a returning device.

We do not retain information collected through cookies for longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
