Managing cookies
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that some features of the website may not work properly if you disable cookies.
Session cookies and persistent cookies
Cookies can be divided into session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted automatically once you close your browser and are used to track your activity during a single visit, for example to keep you logged in while you move between pages. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, or until you delete them yourself, and are used to remember your preferences the next time you visit.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by our website and are generally used for functions such as remembering your login state or preferences. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than ours, typically because a service we use, such as an analytics or advertising provider, places its own cookie when you visit our site. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policy of the third party that sets them rather than by this policy.
Third-party cookies on our website
In addition to cookies we set ourselves, third parties may place cookies on our website, for example for analytics purposes or to display advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. These third parties maintain their own privacy and cookie policies, which may differ from ours. We do not have full control over cookies placed by these third parties, so we encourage you to review their individual policies if you want more detail on how they process data collected through cookies.
How to view, delete or block cookies
Most browsers let you view, delete or block cookies through their privacy or security settings. You can also choose to receive a notification whenever a cookie is set, so that you can decide on a case by case basis whether to allow it. Keep in mind that fully blocking cookies can cause certain parts of our website to stop working correctly, such as remembering your login details or your language preference.

Cookies and mobile devices
If you access our website through a mobile browser, the same cookie principles apply as on desktop, and you can manage cookies through the settings of your mobile browser in a similar way. If you use our app instead of a mobile browser, some functions that cookies perform on the website, such as remembering preferences, may instead be handled through local app storage rather than a browser cookie.
Why we rely on cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages perform well and where improvements may be needed. These insights let us make the website easier to navigate and help us identify and resolve errors more quickly. At the same time, we think it is important that you retain control over which cookies you accept, which is why we provide choices where possible when you first visit our website.
Consequences of disabling cookies
Disabling essential cookies can prevent core functions from working, such as staying logged in, completing a deposit or keeping items in a form as you move between steps. Disabling functional or performance cookies has a smaller impact and mainly affects convenience features such as remembered preferences or personalised content, while disabling marketing cookies simply means the advertisements you see elsewhere are less tailored to your browsing activity.
- Disabling essential cookies can break core website functions such as login and checkout flows.
- Disabling functional cookies means preferences like language may need to be reselected on each visit.
- Disabling performance cookies limits our ability to identify and fix usability issues.
- Disabling marketing cookies reduces ad personalisation without affecting core website functionality.
Changes to this cookie policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time, for example when we introduce a new feature that relies on cookies or when relevant regulations change. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
Cookie consent and your first visit
When you first visit our website, we may present a cookie banner that explains the categories of cookies we use and lets you choose which non-essential categories to accept. Essential cookies are applied automatically because the website cannot function correctly without them, while functional, performance and marketing cookies are only set once you have given your consent, where that consent is required under applicable law. You can usually change your earlier choice later through a cookie settings link on our website or through your browser settings.
Cookies used for analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand overall visitor behaviour, such as which pages are viewed most often, how long a typical visit lasts and whether visitors encounter errors on specific pages. This information is generally aggregated and used to identify patterns across many visitors rather than to build a detailed profile of a single individual, and it helps us prioritise improvements to navigation, page load times and content organisation.
Cookies used for security and fraud prevention
Certain cookies support security functions, such as detecting unusual login patterns or confirming that a session belongs to the account that started it. These cookies fall within the essential category because disabling them would weaken the protections that keep your account and transactions secure, so they are applied regardless of your preference settings for other cookie categories.
How cookie information is stored
The information stored in a cookie is generally limited to small identifiers or preference values rather than full personal records. Where a cookie is linked to information that identifies you, such as your account session, that information is handled in line with this cookie policy and our separate privacy policy, and is protected using the same security measures we apply to other personal data.
Reviewing your cookie settings periodically
Because browser updates and new website features can change which cookies apply to you, it is good practice to review your cookie and privacy settings from time to time rather than only at your first visit. Checking these settings periodically ensures your choices continue to reflect your current preferences, particularly if you use multiple devices or browsers to access our website, since cookie choices are generally stored per browser and are not automatically shared between them.
Frequently asked questions about cookies
What exactly is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. It allows the website to recognise your device on later visits and to remember information such as preferences or login state.
Are cookies dangerous?
Cookies themselves are simple text files and cannot run programs or install software on your device. They are widely used across the web for functional, analytical and advertising purposes, and their impact depends on what information they store and how it is used.
Can I use the website with cookies disabled?
You can browse parts of our website with cookies disabled, but some essential functions, such as logging in or completing a transaction, are likely to stop working correctly without them.
How do I remove cookies that are already stored?
You can remove existing cookies through your browser's privacy or history settings, usually under an option such as clear browsing data. Removing cookies will log you out of websites and reset any remembered preferences.
Do you use cookies for advertising?
We and certain third parties may use cookies to make advertising more relevant to your interests. You can manage or disable these cookies through your browser settings.
Will my cookie choices be remembered?
Where you make a choice about non-essential cookies, that choice is generally stored in a cookie itself so it can be remembered on later visits, unless you clear your cookies or use a different device or browser.
