What’s a Cookie
A cookie is a small file stored on your computer. It helps the site remember information about your visit, which can make it easier to visit the site again and make the site more useful to you.
These cookies are used to personalise our content, collect information for our advertising campaigns and analyse traffic to the site.
These may be « session » cookies, which delete themselves when you leave the Stuart website, or « persistent » cookies, which do not delete themselves and help us to recognise you when you return, so that we can provide you with a personalised service.
The details and durations of each cookie are listed in the tables below.
How to personalise your Cookie Settings!
When you first visit our site, you will be given the opportunity to accept or decline the use of certain cookies.
If you do not want cookies to be installed or read on your device, an opt-out cookie will be set so that we can retain the information that you have objected to the use of cookies.
Similarly, when you accept the deposit of cookies, a consent cookie is set.
You can change your preferences at any time. Your choices will be stored for 6 months, after which the cookie banner will be displayed again so that you can express your choice again.
You can also automatically block cookies by changing your browser settings. If you set your browser to disable, reject or block cookies (including essential cookies), some parts of our website will not function fully.
We and our affiliates, 3rd-parties, and other partners use cookies and other identification technologies on our websites, mobile applications, email communications, advertisements, and other online services (collectively, the ‘Services’) for a number of purposes, including: authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analysing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviours and interests of people who interact with our Services. You can read more here about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.
Cookies and Related Technologies Overview
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements that are used to remember your browser or device during and across website visits. We also utilise other technologies that may identify you or the devices you use. For example, ‘pixel tags’ (also called beacons) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including, for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, advertising identifiers, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third-parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. ‘Local storage’ refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third-parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache). ‘Software Development Kits’ (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain information about user interaction with the app and information about the user device and network information.
Your Choices
You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. However, they are an important part of how our Services work, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services.

Some third-parties also provide the ability to refuse their cookies directly by clicking on an opt-out link, and we have indicated where this is possible in the table below.
