This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use and protect personal information.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can help websites operate correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website and improve the overall user experience.

4. Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They may be used for security, fraud prevention, session management, website navigation, privacy settings and other essential functionality. Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they may not require your consent where permitted by applicable law.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited, how visitors reach the website and whether technical errors occur. Where required by law, these cookies will only be activated after you provide consent.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices and preferences and provide enhanced functionality. Where required, these cookies will only be used with your consent.
Marketing and advertising cookies
We may use marketing technologies to understand the effectiveness of advertising and marketing campaigns. Where consent is legally required, marketing or advertising cookies will not be placed until you have provided that consent.

If our website provides access to a broker portal, application portal or other secure area, cookies may be required to authenticate users; maintain secure sessions; prevent unauthorised access; protect accounts; remember certain user preferences; and provide requested portal functionality. Certain cookies used for these purposes may be strictly necessary for the service requested by the user.
8. Managing your cookie preferences

Where applicable, this will allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies, select particular categories of cookies and change your preferences. You should be able to change your cookie preferences through the website’s cookie settings where this functionality is available. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
