This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored however this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in many cases there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features that are necessary for the site to function.

Except for these necessary cookies, no cookies are set on your device by our website unless you have previously expressed some form of explicit consent to their use. Even so, it is recommended that you consent to the use of all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.

Changing Your Cookie Consent Settings

If you arrive on our website and we don’t already have a record of which types of cookies you consent for us to use on your device, then we only set necessary cookies.

We then additionally use a Consent Management Platform to ask for your consent to use cookies which aren’t necessary, and we have designed this website to automatically respect the choices you make.

If you wish to change the extent to which you consent to cookies being used by this website on your device, you can do this in two ways.

  1. By adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser help for how to do this).

  2. By following the links immediately below. “Change your consent” will open a dialog box where you can change or revoke your consent, while “Revoke your consent” does so instantly, without a dialog box.

Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in also disabling certain functionality and features of this site. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.

This cookie contains a unique randomly-generated value that enables the Xandr platform to distinguish browsers and devices.

It is matched against information – such as advertising interest segments and histories of ads shown in the browser or device – provided by clients or other third parties and stored on the Xandr platform.

This information is used by clients to select advertisements for delivery by the Xandr platform, and to measure the performance of, and attribute payment for, those advertisements.

In addition, Xandr uses this cookie to enable clients to use data which does not reveal or use an Internet user’s real-world identity or data they collect outside of the Xandr platform or acquire from other third parties.

This cookie is also sometimes matched to clients’ or other third parties’ cookies so that they can use data they collect outside of the Xandr platform to serve more relevant advertisements to Internet users.

When a user opts out of having the Xandr platform used to select ads based on online behaviour, the unique value in uuid2 is deleted and replaced with the non-unique value “-1”. For more information about the Xandr platform opt out, click here.
