Consent
In most cases we will need your consent in order to use cookies on this Website. The exception is where the cookie is essential for the operation of the Website.
There is a notice on our home page which allows you to accept those cookies that you are happy for us to use for the purposes described in this Website Cookie Policy.
How do we use cookies on our Website?
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Website for our own internal purposes to track how visitors navigate through the Website in order to enable us to evaluate and improve the Website and our online services.
We also use cookie technology to ensure that, where you have registered for any of our online services, we maintain your confidentiality and security as you move through secure, or password protected areas of the Website.
In addition, to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertisements and promotions on selected third-party websites, we may (together with the third-party agents who help manage our online advertising) use cookies to measure response rates to our advertisements and promotions, and to pre-fill online forms to enhance your experience of the Website.
We do not use cookies to track your use of the Internet after leaving the Website, nor will we pass on any cookie-derived information to third parties other than as set out in this Cookie Policy. We may collate the statistical data compiled in respect of use of the Website with statistical data similarly compiled in respect of other websites operated by other companies in the IQUW Group in order to facilitate group-wide evaluation and improvements.
Which cookies do we use on our Website?
We use the following types of 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.
- Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us 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.
- Site preference cookies. We have the capability to use this type of cookie. Where used, these allow us to recognise you when you return to our website. This will enable us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
- Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. This information may be used to serve you with targeted online advertising.
