Our website (this “Site” or “Sites”) use cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Site. This helps us provide you with a good experience when you browse our Site and allows us to improve our Site. This cookie policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies and similar technologies we use, and our purposes for using them.

Websites that are accessible from parts of the European Union are required to obtain consent to using or storing cookies (or using similar technologies) on your computers or mobile device. For further information about this policy, please contact us.

If you do not wish to accept cookies in connection with your use of this Site, you must stop using our Site, disable cookies via your browser settings (see below), or disable cookies individually (see Cookies List below).

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our site.

We use cookies for the following reasons:

  • to administer and organize the Site;
  • to analyse use of the Site to make improvements to the Site; and
  • to compile statistics and understand (in general, aggregated terms) who uses our Site.

Key concepts

First and third-party cookies: whether a cookie is 'first' or 'third' party refers to the domain placing the cookie.

First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by vellikor.com).

Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.

Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on a user’s device for the period specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that cookie.

Session cookies: these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

How can I disable or block cookies?

You block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our site.

Changing your cookie settings. Please note that internet browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your internet browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful. Otherwise you should use the "Help" option in your internet browser for more details.

What cookies do we use and why?

Generally, our Site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Site and allows us to improve our Site.

The cookies used on our Site are categorised as follows:

  • Strictly necessary
  • Performance
  • Functionality
  • Targeting

Strictly Necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website.

Accepting these cookies is a condition of using the Site, so if you prevent these cookies we cannot guarantee how the Site or the security on our Site will perform during your visit.

Performance cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our websites, for instance, which pages you go to most often and if you get error messages from those pages. We only use these cookies to improve how our websites work.

By using our Site, or expressing your consent as otherwise required by applicable law, you accept the use of 'Performance' cookies. If you prevent cookies, we cannot guarantee how our Site will perform for you.

Functionality cookies

These cookies allow us to remember the choices you make (such as your user name) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of our web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as watching a video or commenting.

Some of these cookies are managed by third parties (e.g. vimeo.com).

Targeting cookies

These cookies are used to track your visit to our Site and other websites, including the pages you have visited and the links you have followed, which allows third parties to display targeted ads to you on the websites you visit.

Third party service providers use Targeting cookies to:

  • Link to social networks, like Facebook and Twitter, that may subsequently use information about your visit to our website to provide advertising or other offers that may be of interest to you when you visit other websites.
  • Provide third parties with information on your visit so that they can present you with advertisements or other offers that may be of interest to you. If you are in the EU, you may opt-out of certain third party cookies that we and other websites may use for targeting through http://www.youronlinechoices.eu or www.aboutads.info. Opting out of one or more ad networks only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our websites or other third party websites. If your browser is configured to reject cookies when you visit one of the above referenced opt-out pages, and you later erase your cookies, use a different computer or change Web browsers, your preference may no longer be active. Since all these cookies are managed by third parties, you should refer to the third parties’ own website privacy notifications and policies for further information (see below for more information about the targeting cookies used on our Site).
