How do we use cookies?
Some of the cookies we use help us to maintain the Website, while others remember the pages and models you look at when you first visited the Website and to help to improve your Website experience each time you visit.
We also use cookies to track how you use the Website by providing usage statistics. Whilst this information on its own does not usually contain your personal information, we may combine the information we collect by cookies with personal information that we have collected from you in order to learn more about how you use and how we can improve the Website.
Cookies we use
Some of the cookies we use are necessary to enable you to move around the Website and use its features such as accessing secure areas that may contain content for registered users.
We also use functional cookies to record information about the choices you have made and to allow us to tailor this Website to our users; for example, to remember your language or region or that you have already completed a survey. This information is usually anonymised and is not used for any purpose unrelated to the Website.
We or our service providers also use analytics cookies to help us understand how effective our content is, what interests our users have, and to improve how the Website works. This website uses Google Analytics and further information on this can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
In addition, we use web beacons, tracking pixels and similar services to understand more about the visitors to this Website, and to count visitor numbers and performance cookies to track how many individual users access the Website and how often. This information is used for statistical purposes and to improve how the Website works and it is not our intention to use such information to personally identify any user. However, if at any time you register and sign into the Website we may combine such data with information from our web analytic services and cookies to analyse how you use the Website in more detail.
This Website does not use targeting cookies to deliver targeted advertising on the Website; however, these cookies may be used on third party websites on which we occasionally advertise, to track the success of those advertising campaigns. We may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags) to determine which users have come to the Website after viewing an advertisement we have served on such third party websites. We also work with such third parties to collect data so that we can determine the effectiveness of our ads and serve ads targeted to your interests. The use of web beacons does not provide us with any personal information and we do not use this technology to access your personal information. It is used only to compile aggregated data about users who visit this Website and to gauge the effectiveness of our ads. Web beacons do not place information on your device, but may work in conjunction with cookies to monitor activity. You cannot remove or block web beacons, but you can remove or block cookies with which they work to block the collection of information about your user activity.
