This website contains links to third-party websites, which have their own data controllers and privacy policies. This privacy policy applies only to this website.
For each method by which we collect personal data, this privacy policy documents our lawful basis for processing the data. Where we collect personal data for business customers, this data is collected on the basis of legitimate interests.
Where we rely on your consent to process your data, we explain how you can withdraw your consent and delete your data.

Cookies are small pieces of text that are stored by your browser. Each cookie has a name and is associated with a particular site. When your browser sends a request to a site (for example, to download a page, image, or video), the computer that responds (known as a server) may tell your browser to set one or more cookies. When your browser makes further requests to the same site it sends the cookies back to the server. This allows the server to remember you as you browse the site, and provide features such as shopping baskets or password-protected areas.
