Cookie Policy

This cookie policy is a part of our proactive approach to user privacy and seeks to set out the different natures of cookies, how we use them, and how you, the user, can manage cookies on your computer/device. Please see our Privacy Policy for further details about what information we collect and how we use any personal information you give us.

Cookies are automated text files containing small amounts of information downloaded to your computer/device when you visit a website or mobile application. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners. This website uses cookies to better your user experience while visiting our website and for us to better understand how our website is used. Cookies may allow us to remember your language preference, for example. They can also help us ensure that any advertisements you see on our website are better targeted to you and your interests.

Where applicable, our website uses a cookie control system that gives you, on your first visit, the choice to allow or disallow the use of cookies on your computer/device. This complies with legislation requirements for websites to obtain explicit consent from users before leaving behind or reading files such as cookies on a user’s computer/device.


Types of Cookies and Purposes


Generally speaking, there are two types of cookies: First-party cookies, which are sent directly by us to your computer/device, and used only by us to recognize your computer/device; and Third-party cookies, which are sent to your computer/device by a third-party service provider, carefully chosen by us. The latter are used by the third-party service provider to recognize your computer/device and are most often used for analytics and advertising purposes.

There are also “session cookies” and “permanent cookies”, meaning that cookies can remain on your computer/device for different lengths of time. Session cookies are deleted once your browser is closed. Permanent cookies remain after your browser is closed and can be used to recognize your computer/device the next time you open your browser.
