Please review this Cookie Statement and our Privacy Notice carefully.

1. An Explanation of Cookies

a) A "cookie" is a small piece of information that is stored on your device (such as your computer) and which records the way that you use a website so that, when you revisit that website, it allows us to present tailored options based on the information that has been collected from your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for providing you with tailored advertising and marketing;

b) Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your device or system.

2. How do we use cookies?

We may use cookies to collect information automatically from your device when you use any of our Sites. The cookies that we use are either:

a. Persistent cookies: these optional cookies stay on your device after your website visit. They remember who you are so that when you visit the website again, your login details and password can be automatically entered for you;

b. Session cookies: these optional cookies are only stored on your device during your website visit and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. We use them for specific functions such as foreign currency transactions, to assist with the online ordering process.

3. Types of cookies

Cookies can also be classed in the following ways:

a. Essential cookies: These cookies make our website operations work and therefore they cannot be turned off or rejected. We use these, for example, to make the ordering of foreign exchange possible online.

If we offer a branded service through one of our partners, such as a supermarket, the essential cookies could be both ours and our partners;

For example, we use them to understand where visitors to our site are based, how many people visit our website and which of our website pages are the most popular.

These cookies will only be deployed if you opt-in to receive them;

c. Functionality Cookies: We may use these optional cookies allow our website to remember if you have previously visited our site or the choices you make (such as your user name, language, region or preferences) to provide a more personalised online experience. These cookies will only be deployed if you opt-in to receive them;

d. Third-Party cookies: These optional cookies are only installed with your permission. They collect information from your device and perform tasks that analyse behaviour and collect other information, such as demographics.
