A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. The website you visit may set cookies directly, known as first-party cookies, or may trigger cookies set by other domain names, known as third-party cookies.
Our Website Privacy Policy describes our practices for any personal data that our first-party cookies collect, store, or use.
Most web browsers allow you to directly block all cookies, or just third-party cookies, through your browser settings. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our website as this setting may interfere with proper site operation.
Except for essential cookies, all cookies will expire after the duration set forth in the table below. Third-party cookie expiration periods are set by their respective owners.

We will post any changes to the way we use cookies on this page. If the changes materially alter how we use cookies, we will post a notice on our website. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our cookie use notice.
We use the following cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website e.g., use of e-billing services. These are session and persistent cookies, where the temporary cookies last until you close your browser and permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
- Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us and our third-party service providers to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. These cookies generate aggregate statistics that are not associated with an individualized profile and are persistent cookies that generally last up to 2 years.
- Functionality cookies. These cookies enable helpful but non-essential website functions that improve your website experience. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Advertisement cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
- Third Parties. Our website may contain helpful but non-essential features or plug-ins enabling third party services that use cookies, such as social network connectors, maps, advertising networks, or web traffic analysis services. These cookies may enable visitor identification across websites and over time. We do not control the third party's use of those cookies, their duration, or their ability to share information with other third parties. Please note that some of the following third parties may use cookies and that these third-party cookies are likely to be analytical cookies or advertising cookies. We encourage you to review each party's cookie disclosure/cookie policy if you are concerned about their cookie usage.
