Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone or other devices when you access our Platform.

Types of cookies used
Strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies are indispensable for our platform, and they include those needed for managing your sessions and our systems. They cannot be deactivated, as this would stop the platform from working.
Functional cookies
This sort of cookie records your browsing and platform use preferences. They will make your online experience more personalised and targeted. For example, they can memorise which device you log in from and your choices, such as your country, your preferred language, and your search criteria. The information collected can then be used to identify you personally, for instance with your username. The cookies we install are only active when you are on our platform and become inactive when you leave the site.
Performance cookies
Other cookies collect statistical information, such as the number of users, the frequency and duration of their visits, the number of pages they open, our systems’ response time, and the frequency of use of our online functionalities. That information is used to improve our platform, including system performance, browsing, content of the most popular pages, and related services. These cookies may use technology provided by external companies, for example website analysis solutions produced by Google Analytics. These tools collect information, such as the number of visitors, the sites they have come from, and the pages they have visited on our platform, which allows us to track how visitors use our platform, compile the reports generated, and improve our systems.
For any further information, please read Google’s privacy policy.
Social media cookies
We use analysis, add-ons and marketing services from a range of third-party platforms, such as LinkedIn. Cookies linked to social media allow you to connect and share contents from our website directly on your social media accounts. They can track your browser across other sites and build up a profile of your interests. Any data that is collected is anonymised and processed by the third-party platforms in line with their cookie policies.
Targeting cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
