Cookies
Our Website uses cookies as described below:
A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are very helpful and can be used for various different purposes. These purposes include allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enable automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences and making the interaction between you and our services quicker and easier. Cookies are also used to compile statistical data on your use of our services.
Our website uses the following types of cookies:
'session cookies' which are stored only temporarily during a browsing session in order to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed;
'persistent cookies' which are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are read only by our Website and used where we need to know who you are for repeat visits—for example, to allow us to store your preferences for your next sign-in;
'third party cookies' which are set by other online services who run content on the page you are viewing—for example, by third party analytics companies who analyze our web access, or are used to deliver tailored offers and advertisements to you, based on your derived interests.
