Third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
The list of cookies within this Cookie Notice explains what cookies we use on our website, why we use them, and whether they are strictly necessary or another type of cookie, e.g. "functional" or "performance" cookies (as described above).
We also state in the table whether a cookie is a first party cookie or a third party cookie (Cookie type):
