Plain-English summary
The cookie policy allows third-party 'Functional Cookies' (data_use-1) that enable enhanced functionality and personalization, and if they are blocked, some services may not work properly. The policy also uses 'Performance Cookies' (data_use-2) to count visits and traffic sources for site improvement, but blocking them will prevent the company from monitoring site performance. Furthermore, 'Targeting Cookies' (data_use-3) may be set by advertising partners to build interest profiles for personalized ads, meaning that if these are blocked, users will experience less targeted advertising. Finally, 'Strictly Necessary Cookies' (data_use-4) are required for the website to function, and blocking them can cause problems with certain site features.

Functional cookies, which can be set by the company or third-party providers, are used to provide enhanced website functionality and personalization. If these cookies are not allowed, some or all services may not function properly.
Why it matters: Not allowing functional cookies, which may be set by third parties, could result in some or all website services not functioning properly.
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Performance cookies track site visits and traffic sources
Performance cookies are used to count visits and traffic sources to measure and improve site performance. This information is aggregated and anonymous, and disallowing them prevents the company from knowing when you visited the site or monitoring its performance.
Why it matters: If you do not allow performance cookies, the company will not know when you have visited their site and will be unable to monitor its performance.
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Targeting cookies used by advertising partners for personalized ads
Targeting cookies may be set through the site by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant advertisements on other sites. These cookies do not store directly personal information but identify your browser and internet device.
Why it matters: If you do not allow targeting cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for website function

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.
