COOKIES
The Website uses cookies to store visitors' preferences, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, ensure that visitors are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads, and customize content based on visitors' browser type or other information that the visitor sends. Cookies may also be used by third-party services, such as Google Analytics, as described herein.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a "device") by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website. The Cookie will collect information relating to your use of the Website, information about your device such as the device's IP address and browser type, demographic data and, if you arrived at the Website via a link from a third-party site, the URL of the linking page.
What are the different types of cookies, and how do we use them?
Essential cookie – These are cookies that are essential for running the Website. Without these Cookies, parts of the Website would not function. These cookies do not track where you have been on the internet and do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.
Examples of how we may use essential Cookies include:
- They are setting unique identifiers for each unique visitor so that website numbers can be analyzed.
Functional cookie – These Cookies are used to remember your website preferences and provide enhanced, more personal features. The information collected by these Cookies is usually anonymized, so we cannot identify you personally. Functional cookies do not track your internet usage or gather information that could be used to sell advertising.
Examples of how we may use functional Cookies include:
- Gathering data about visits to the Website, including numbers of visitors and visits, length of time spent on the Website, pages clicked on or where visitors have come from
- They are eliminating the need for returning users to re-enter their login details.
Analytical Performance cookie – Analytical performance Cookies are used to monitor the Website's performance, for example, to determine the number of page views and the number of unique users our Website has. We use this information to improve user experience or identify areas of the Website which may require maintenance. The information is anonymous (i.e., it cannot be used to identify you and does not contain personal information such as your name and email address) and is only used for statistical purposes.
Examples of how we may use analytical Cookies include:
- Measuring users' behaviour
- Analyze which pages are viewed for how long and which links are followed to develop the Website better
Advertising cookie – Behavioral advertising Cookies, which may be placed on your device by us or our trusted third-party service providers, will remind you that you have visited a website, and that information will be used to provide you with advertising tailored to your interests. This is often called online behavioural advertising and is done by grouping shared interests based on web browsing history. Your web browsing history can be used to infer things about you (e.g. your age, gender, etc.), and this information may also be used to make advertising on websites more relevant to you. Although behavioural advertising Cookies can track your activity around the internet, these Cookies cannot identify you personally.
Examples of how we may use advertising Cookies include:
- Manage online advertising – The Website may use Cookies together with web beacons to provide advertising to you and to enable us to manage our relationship with those advertisers by, for example, tracking how many unique users have seen a particular advertisement or followed a link in an ad.
Third-Party Cookies – Some cookies unrelated to us have been set on some website pages. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Facebook, these third-party service providers may set their Cookies on your device. We do not control the use of these third-party Cookies. We cannot access them due to the way that Cookies work, as Cookies can only be accessed by the party who initially set them. Please check the third-party websites for more information about these Cookies.
USERS MAY, AT ANY TIME, PREVENT THE WEBSITE from setting cookies by using a corresponding setting of their internet browser and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
