About cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that are placed upon your computer in order to help us to identify you. Some cookies known as ‘strictly necessary cookies’ are required to enable our App to operate, other cookies ‘optional cookies’ are those that we use to personalise your experience whilst on our App, for example, to enable us to show you personalised advertisements.

We may collect your Personal Data through the use of cookies and other similar technologies (like web beacons, pixels, scripts and software development kits). When you access our App, we may send a cookie(which is a small summary file containing a unique ID number) to your device. This enables us to recognize your device and customise the online experience. It also helps us keep track of services you view, so that we can send you news about those services. We also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, to determine which areas of our App have been visited, and to measure transaction patterns in the aggregate.

We also use Software Development Kits that function like third-party cookies and pixel tags but operate in the mobile application environment where cookies and pixel tags cannot function as effectively. We may install pieces of code (the SDK) provided by our partners (such as analytical providers) in our App for these partners to monitor and analyse the use and performance of our App and services.
