What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then are sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to identify a user’s device, understand how people use our site and applications and which pages are most popular to enable us to serve our site visitors and application users well.

Cookies perform many functions, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your experience with our services.

Cookies used on this website

Cookies come in different forms: Strictly necessary cookies, Performance cookies, and Targeting cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are those cookies necessary for the website or application to function. These cookies are usually only set in response to actions made by you that are, primarily, a request for services. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but if you do, some parts of our website will not work.

Our website is built using a content management platform called Craft, which relies on PHP sessions to maintain sessions across web requests via the PHP session cookie.

Some cookies such as CraftSessionId are intended to expire at the end of a browsing session. A browsing session typically ends when you close the browser window, but this behavior may vary depending on which browser and your browser preferences. In Chrome, for example, the “Continue where you left off” option for the “On startup” setting will prevent session cookies from being deleted, thereby extending your sessions indefinitely.

Performance cookies

Performance cookies allow us to count visits to our site and determine traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website and Services. These cookies allow us to gauge the popularity of pages and how visitors navigate through our Services. The information collected within these cookies is used by us to analyze trends, administer our site, track user’s movements around our site and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based upon these technologies on an individual or aggregated basis.

Performance cookies include _ga and _gat, which are set by Google Analytics. These cookies generates statistical data to help us understand how visitors use the website. See Google's support article for more information about cookies created by Google Analytics. Google also provides a browser add-on that you can use to opt out of Google Analytics cookies.

Targeting cookies are set by our marketing platform Hubspot to allow us to track individual user behaviour in order provide more personalised and relevant marketing information to visitors about our products and services.
