Types of cookies we use
Like most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First part cookies are cookies that are placed on your device when you first access any of our websites. These cookies are intended to carry out activities that are strictly necessary for the basic operation of our website to function
Third party cookies are non-essential cookies which are set by a domain other than that website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. They are used primarily for functional, analytics, performance, and advertisement purposes.
We may allow certain social medial, advertising and analytics partners to place third-party cookies on our websites. These partners use these cookies to (i) help us analyse how our websites are being used; (ii) collect information about your activities on our websites; and (iii) market and advertise our services to you on our websites and third-party websites.
For example, we use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google Inc., on our websites. We use Google Analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our websites and the number of times a visitor has visited our websites. We use the information with a view to improving our websites and enhancing the experience of our online visitors
We may also include links to media content (including video) hosted by 3rd parties, such as social media and/or video content hosting platforms like Vimeo and YouTube. When such external content is loaded, it may create a third-party cookie to track the visitor for various purposes - providing advertisements that are relevant to you, etc. Our content creators aim at minimising the use of 3rd party content.
