Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to place and store on your device or computer. They were designed to enable the website to remember your preferences, record session information, and in some cases, track user activity on the site. Cookies facilitate a range of functions, from basic features like remembering your login details to more complex analytics and advertising services that help us understand how our website is used and improve your experience on it.
Types of Cookies Used on Our Website
Our website uses several types of cookies, each serving a different purpose:
-
Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its services and features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you’ve asked for cannot be provided.
-
Performance Cookies: These collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, if they get error messages, and the duration of their visit. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We only use these cookies to improve how our website works.
-
Functionality Cookies: These allow the website to remember your choices (such as your user name, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They can also be used to remember changes you’ve made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
-
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, but they are not essential for the website or for any of its features.
-
Third-Party Cookies: We also use third-party cookies, which are set by a domain other than our website, for the purposes of gathering statistics on website usage (Google Analytics), providing targeted advertising, and allowing social network integration and sharing functionality.
