The Website is designed to use Cookies to collect information about how people use the Website (see Use of Cookies) and in some parts of our Website, we specifically ask for Your Information.

(a) Use of Cookies

• Cookies are small data files which are placed on your Device when you visit certain parts of our Website or click on our online advertisements. Cookies and similar technologies are used to identify your Device for the following purposes:
  
  
  
• to determine whether the cookies setting on your web browser has been enabled or disabled so that we will know whether data can be collected from your web browser;
• to remember the choices you make (such as your user name) so you do not have to re-enter that information when you return to the Website;
• to temporarily identify you after you have logged in to a secure page on our Website so that our web server can maintain a dialogue with your web browser in order for you to carry out certain activities;
• to temporarily allow you to carry information between pages of our Website to avoid having to re-enter that information;
• to track your visits to our Website and recognise your web browser when you are a repeat visitor so that we can gather statistics on the number of new and repeat visitors and evaluate website effectiveness;
• to temporarily store information on your link preferences and your movement between web pages to help us to improve the Website and provide a more useful experience; and
• to make our Website more relevant to your interests.

The above cookies may be placed on your Device by us or by third parties on our behalf (for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services).
