We use the term “Necessary Cookies” to include communication cookies and strictly necessary cookies.
Communication cookies are cookies whose sole purpose is the transmission of a communication. They route information over a network by identifying the communication ‘endpoints’ — devices that accept communications across that network, exchange data items in their intended order, and detect transmission errors or data loss. Examples are session cookies for load balancing purposes, with the sole purpose of identifying which server in the pool the communication will be directed to, and Device fingerprinting techniques, solely for network management purposes.
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of our Site. They include, for example, cookies that authenticate you and enable you to log into secure areas of our Site and to use online forms, prevent or detect fraud and technical faults and record information or selections you make when using our service.
