This website makes use of cookies to provide a better use for its visitors as well as to ensure that it is fully functional.
This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy. For more information about us and how we protect user information please see our Privacy Policy.
In order to provide a personalised and efficient service to our users it is necessary to memorise and store information about how this Website is to be used. To do this, we use small text files called cookies which contain small amounts of information downloaded to our users’ computer or other devices from a server. Your internet browser subsequently sends these cookies back to the Website on each subsequent visit, enabling us to recognise and remember the identity of our visitors, in particular our users’ usage preferences. You can find more detailed information about cookies and how they work here.
Navigation on this Website enables the collection of information using cookies and other technologies. By using this site you accept the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Notice as well as the use of cookies on other country, region and Deloitte.com office specific websites, which you may visit as described in their cookie notices.
What types of Cookies are used and why?
Some of the cookies we use are necessary to enable you to navigate this Website and take advantage of its features such as accessing secure areas and content only available to registered users.
Our website also uses functional cookies to record information about our users’ choices and allow us to customize our website to their needs; for example, to remember their language of origin or region or that a user has completed a survey. The information recorded is anonymous and intended solely for the above purpose.
We may use, directly or indirectly, webanalytics services to measure the effectiveness of our content and the preferences of our users, which allow us to contribute to optimising the functioning of this Website. In addition, we use web beacons or tracking pixels to count the number of visitors and performance cookies to monitor how individual users access our website and how often. This information is used only for statistical purposes without identifying any particular user. However, for registered users who are logged on to the Website we may combine this information with data collected via webanalytics services and cookies to analyse how visitors use this Website in more detail.
This Website does not use targeting cookies to provide targeted advertising to our visitors.
If you would like detailed information about the cookies used on our website, please contact us via the email form.

Managing Local Shared Objects or Flash Cookies
A local shared object or flash cookie is similar to other browser cookies in that it can store more types of information. These cookies cannot be controlled through the mechanisms identified above. Some areas of our Website use this type of cookie to store user preferences for media player features and without them some video content cannot be viewed properly. These cookies can be manually controlled by visiting the Adobe website.
Social buttons
We employ the use of social buttons to enable our users to share or bookmark pages. These buttons relate to social networks which may collect information about our visitors’ activities on the Internet, including our Website. An understanding of how the information is used and how they may be excluded from collection should be obtained by reviewing the respective Terms of Use and Privacy Policies of those websites.
External Web Services
We sometimes make use of external web services on our Website to display content on our web pages. For example, to provide images, videos and to conduct surveys. In these cases, as with social buttons, we cannot prevent the collection of usage information from our visitors when they access this content embedded on our website.
Email communications
To assess the appropriateness of our communications we may use tracking technologies to determine whether our visitors have read, clicked on links or forwarded certain email communications sent by us. If you disagree with this course of action, our users should unsubscribe, as we cannot send these emails without these tracking mechanisms in place. Registered subscribers may update their communication preferences at any time by contacting us through this email form, or may unsubscribe by following the instructions in the communication email sent by us to their email address.
This Cookie Policy may be revised at any time at our discretion. When such changes are made, the revision date at the top of the page will change. The amended Cookie Policy will take effect from the date of the revision. We encourage users of our website to review our Cookie Policies periodically in order to be informed about our management of cookies
