To enable us to provide you with the best possible service, this website uses cookies. Below we explain how and why this happens.
What are cookies?
When you visit this website, we install cookies on your computer, tablet or telephone if your browser settings allow it. Cookies are small, simple text files that are used to recognise you on your next visit to the site. For example, cookies ensure that when you visit our website in the future you do not receive or have to enter the same information each time. Your settings and preferences are remembered, which makes any subsequent visit to the site easier. Using cookies, we are also able to tailor the information and offers on our website and – if you have given your permission – on third-party websites.
In this cookie statement, the term ‘cookies’ means more than just small text files and also includes all of the comparable technologies that we use to store or read data on your device, such as Javascript, tags, beacons, pixels or storage features, such as HTML5 LocalStorage.

This also applies to Analytics cookies, AB test cookies and a number of Affiliate and Performance cookies. These cookies monitor the use of our website and help us to improve the site generally.
We also use what are known as ‘tracking’ cookies, which are designed to make the website easier to use and more personal. They are also used for advertising purposes. We only install tracking cookies if you have given us permission to do so. By clicking ‘On’to the relevant consent question, you give us your permission to install these cookies.
