Hg (“we”, “our”, “us”), and third-party companies, use cookies and other similar technologies (such as pixel tags, web beacons) (listed in the table below) (collectively for simplicity “cookies”) when you use this website. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.
These cookies may be stored on your device or browser and may gain access to information stored on your device; they may also be used to collect your personal data. This notice tells you about which cookies we use, how we use them and how to manage your cookie preferences.
You can change your cookies settings at any time by using our cookie consent manager tool, available in the footer of our website referred to as ‘cookie settings’.
We may change this notice from time to time, in which case we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Cookies Notice.
In addition to the cookies we use on this website, we also use cookies in some of the emails and push notifications we send you. These enable us to understand whether you have opened the email or push notification and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies will be set on your device and will also be set if you click on any link within the email or push notification.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Others are “permanent”, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used to recognise your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
We use first party and third-party cookies. First party cookies are set directly by us whereas third party cookies are set by a third party (such as analytics providers or our advertiser and business partners).
We use cookies that perform the following functions:
Essential cookies, which are essential to the functioning of our website, to provide a service requested by you or to comply with the law (e.g. the security requirements of data protection law).

Functionality cookies, which allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced and personalised features e.g. to show you when you are logged in.
