Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to recognize your browser or device, store user preferences, analyze traffic and usage patterns, and serve targeted advertisements. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Types of Cookies we use

  • Essential Cookies
    • These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • 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 to 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, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Website, deliver advertisements on and through the Website, and so on. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of the third parties providing them.
