What are cookies?

On this website we use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the memory of your device via your browser. Cookies store certain information (e.g., your preferred language or page settings) which can be sent back to us by your browser when you visit the website again (depending on the lifetime of the cookie).

How cookies are used

When you use and access a website, the website operator(s) may place a number of cookie files in your web browser to help determine and identify returning visitors, the type of content a user views on a website, and the amount of time each user spends in a particular area.

A distinction is made between session and persistent cookies, and the different types of cookies used to operate a website:

The least privacy-invasive type are Essential or Necessary cookies. These are essential to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features would not function.

Functional cookies (sometimes called convenience cookies) allow a website to remember options a user has made, such as user IDs, consents given, or languages selected.

Analysis and performance cookies are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website, they can track problems, facilitate surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.

Finally, advertising or targeting cookies deliver customised advertising to users.

The cookies we use

We think it is important that you have full control over your privacy online, which is why we deliberately decided not to place non-essential cookies such as functional, performance or advertising cookies. As set out in the TTDSG and the PECD, we do not need to obtain consent when we do not use them, which is why you will not encounter cookie consent pop-ups on this site.

Does this policy change?

We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect a change in the law or to accommodate a change in our practices. We recommend that you check here periodically for any changes. This Cookie Policy was last updated on Friday, 12 June 2026.
