Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies serve various purposes, from enabling you to navigate the website more effectively to remembering your preferences during repeated visits.
Types of Cookies Used on This Website
This website uses different categories of cookies as described below:
Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our system. They are strictly necessary for the provision of the service requested by the user, such as navigating the site or accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, the website may not perform as smoothly for you as we would like it to.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use such analytics to improve our website’s functionality and user experience.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to the layout of the site, if these are things you have told us you want to keep.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to deliver adverts most relevant to you, limit the number of times you see an advertisement, and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
Managing or Deleting Cookies
If you wish to manage, delete, or disable cookies, you can do so through your browser’s settings. Each browser differs, but generally, the following steps apply:
- Click on the ‘Help’ menu within your browser or tap on ‘Settings’ and then ‘Privacy’ or ‘Security.’
- Look for the ‘Cookies’ option to see what’s currently stored on your device and whether you can have the browser accept, reject, or delete cookies by manipulating the slider or checkbox.
- For further options, consider using a third-party tool such as those available from aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com.
Third-Party Cookies
Some of our performance and targeting/advertising cookies are set by partners and third-party providers, such as Google. These partners may use the data in combination with data they have independently collected from various sources, including from your visits to other websites and applications, to deliver targeted advertising and other personalized content.
Consent and Control
We respect your right to privacy and thus ask for your consent to place cookies on your device. Your continued use of our website after a cookie has been set on your device will signify your acceptance of our use of these cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by opting-out through the cookie management platform accessible via our website’s Cookie Settings page.
