IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE (COOKIE POLICY NOTICE) CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING AND USING OUR ONLINE SITES. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT COOKIES FROM OUR ONLINE SITES PLEASE EITHER DISABLE COOKIES OR REFRAIN FROM USING OUR ONLINE SITES.

1. What is a Cookie?
   1. Cookies are a 'text-only' string of information that is placed on your computer's hard disk when you access our Online Sites. Among other features, they help the website operator recognise you so that when you revisit the website, the website will recognise the user and remember certain information about them.
   2. Generally, there are two types of cookies:

      (a) session cookies are temporary cookies which expire at the end of each browser session i.e. when a user leaves the site. These cookies allow the website to recognise the user as the user navigates between pages during a session and use the website more efficiently; and

      (b) persistent cookies which are stored on your computer between browsing sessions until they expire or are deleted. They allow the website to recognise you when you return to the website.
   3. There may also be other types of cookies set by a website.
2. Usage of Cookies on our Website
   1. Our website uses cookies to differentiate you from other users by storing information about your use of the website. The information stored may be non-personally identifiable or personally identifiable – to the extent necessary to manage user experience on our Online Sites, analyse trends and improve our sites or to deliver tailored content to you. Any other information is anonymised and/or aggregated to produce reports to evaluate the use of our website; and to make improvements to, and increase efficiency when you browse our website. Many cookies are designed to provide users with an optimal usage of our Online Sites. All personal information collected by us is processed in accordance with our data privacy notice and policy that is available on our website.
   2. In addition to cookies which send information to us, we may also use cookies that collect information which is sent to third parties. For example, we may interact with third parties to collect and compile information such as the number of visitors to our Online Sites, where these visitors come from and the number of pages that they have visited. The operators of these third party websites will use cookies in accordance with their own cookie policies.
   3. We use cookies: (i) to track your activities on our website; and (ii) for the purposes described in our data privacy notice and policy, but they will not generally allow us to obtain information of a personal nature such as your name and address. We will only be aware of such information if you provide the information to us or you have set the preferences in your browser to provide this information automatically.
3. What are my Options in relation to the Use of Cookies?
   1. By accessing and using our Online Sites, you agree to the use of cookies and other technologies as set out in these Terms of Use (Cookie Policy Notice).
   2. If you do not agree to such use please either refrain from using our Online Sites, or adjust your settings accordingly.
4. Can you disable Cookies?
   1. Most website browsers are initially designed to accept cookies. However, users can generally disable, control or delete cookies if they wish by changing their internet software browsing settings. It is also possible to configure the browser settings to enable specific cookies to be accepted or to be notified each time a new cookie is stored on your computer (which allows you to accept or reject the cookie). Further information can be found in the “Help” section of your browser. You can also disable or delete the stored data used by technology similar to cookies, such as Local Shared Objects or Flash cookies, by managing your browser’s “add-on settings” or visiting the website of its owner or manufacturer.
   2. If you choose to disable your cookies, there may be an impact on the quality of your browsing experience. Making changes to these settings may limit the functionality of some web pages or prevent them from loading properly. Additionally, the major browsers have attempted to implement the draft “Do Not Track” (DNT) standard of the World Wide Web Consortium in their latest releases. As this standard has not yet been finalized, the Online Sites are not compatible with DNT and do not process DNT messages.
   3. As our cookies allow you to access some of our website’s features we recommend that you leave cookies enabled. If cookies are disabled, it may mean that you experience reduced functionality or are prevented from using the Online Sites altogether.
