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 entire platform from working.

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 for improving our platform – including system performance, browsing, content on the most popular pages, and related services. Those cookies may use technology provided by external companies, for example website analysis solutions produced by Google Analytics. Those 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 confidentiality rules.

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 on from and your choices such as your country, your favourite language, and your search criteria. The information collected can be used to identify you personally, for instance with your user name. The cookies we install are only active when you are on our platform, and become inactive when you leave the site.

There are also cookies linked to social media which allow you to connect straight to your social media accounts and share content from our platform. Third-party advertising cookies collect information to better target advertising to your interests. They work by identifying your browser and your device. If you deactivate those cookies, you may see less relevant advertisements, and be unable to connect to LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter to share content.
