Cookies Policy

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer if you select to agree at the banner that is displayed to you during the first time you visit our website. You may accept or decline being tracked by indicating your preference for this banner. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of the Website, which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve the Website.

Some of the common uses for our cookies are as follows:

• to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us analyze the use of the Website and to improve the way our Website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
• to identify and authenticate a user across different pages of our Website, within our own Website, in a session or across different sessions. This is so that you do not need to provide a password on every page you visit; and
• to be able to retrieve a user’s previously stored data, for example, information that the user previously submitted to the Website, so as to facilitate reuse of this information by the user.
• to personalize the website for you, including targeting advertisements which may be of particular interest to you.

When you use and access the Service, we may place a number of cookie files in your web browser.

We use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and are enabled by default at the time you access the Website. Those cookies enable us to offer you the best possible experience while using our Website.

Analytical/ Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.

Advertising cookies: We use these cookies to help us to display advertisements that will be relevant to you or are used by third parties in order to provide you with relevant advertising.

We also use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service:

Session cookies: last only for the duration you browse the website and are deleted automatically once you quit your browser

Persistent cookies: are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser. Some cookies may store information for less than 24 hours and other may store information up to 24 months or more.

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on.

We don't control those third party websites, but you can find more information on how to opt out from those on their privacy policies:
