Information about our use of cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in your computer or mobile device by your browser.

These cookies may be set by us, our service providers or advertisers.

Our Sites use different types of cookies to improve your experience and to provide services and advertising. We use:

Strictly Necessary cookies, which are essential in order for you to be able to navigate the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the platform.

Personalised Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Personalisation of ads improves the relevance of the adverts you see and the value these ads create for advertisers. This helps fund our Sites, keeping our services free. We can not identify you from personalising ads. Advertisers sometimes use their own cookies or similar technologies like web beacons for example to better target their ads, to measure their ad campaign or to stop showing you an ad. You can learn more about how advertisers use these cookies and manage your preferences at https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ie/.

If you would like to switch off all advertising targeting cookies, you can do so from our Cookies Settings manager, which can be accessed by clearing your cookies.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors engage with our Sites. Google Analytics uses cookies to store non-personally identifiable information. You can find out more in Analytics cookies and privacy information.

It is possible to control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed

If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.
