What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small data file that is packed and stored as a cookie, sent to your web browser, and then stored on your computer. We include similar tracking technologies such as pixels and web beacons in our definition of cookies.

First party cookies are those installed by us and they are installed either for the time that you use our Services or they are stored longer to be used when you come back to use our Services.
Third-party cookies are installed by our partners and generally stay installed as you navigate the web. When you revisit our Services, the cookies that we have installed on your device will be sent to our web server so the information can be accessed and reused.
A session cookie is only installed temporarily in a browser’s memory, so once you close your browser, session cookies disappear.
A persistent cookie is installed longer on your device. None of our cookies are installed for more than 24 months. Persistent cookies are commonly used for web analytics which requires tracking visitor behaviour over different websites, as with Google Analytics. Web analytics does not allow websites to identify you individually as it uses tokens as an identifier or is provided as mass traffic. However, third parties who are permitted to install these cookies on our Services, such as Google Analytics, may have access to more personal data about you.

Most cookies collect information such as how users arrive at and use our Services, or a user’s general location. Cookies can also log what type of device you are using to connect to our Services, which page and at what time, recognizing the browser on your terminal only during the period of validity of the cookie used. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information about the personal data that we process about you.
