Functionality Cookies
Functionality Cookies provide additional functions on the Website, such as personalisation and remembering your saved preferences. Some functionality Cookies may also be strictly necessary Cookies, but not all necessarily fall into that category.
Marketing (targeting) Cookies
Knowing when and how often the Website is visited, and which parts of it are used (including which pages and links have been visited), helps build a better understanding of visitors. As with analytics Cookies, this information helps make the Website and its advertising more relevant to your interests. Some information gathered by targeting Cookies may also be shared with third parties to deliver, for example, advertising through real-time bidding.

Third-party Cookies are not placed by the Website; instead, they are placed by third parties that provide services to the Website and/or to you. Third-party Cookies may be used by advertising services to serve tailored advertising to you on the Website, or by third parties providing analytics services (these Cookies work in the same way as the analytics Cookies described above).
