Cookies Policy
1. Policy Statement
The cookies policy provides users with detailed information about the types of cookies a website uses, how they are used, and how users can control cookies placement through limiting or forbidding a website to place cookies on his/her electronic device.
2. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to 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. Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
3. Types of Cookies Used
- 3.1. Essential cookies: Required for site functionality. Essential cookies usually are first-party cookies and they let users go back and forth between websites without losing their previous actions.
- 3.2. Performance cookies: Track usage for analytics. Performance, or statistics cookies, collect pseudonymised data about visitors to the website in aggregate form.
- 3.3. Functional cookies: Remember user preferences. Functional cookies are used to provide features beyond essential functionality. They are not vital for a website to run, but allow websites to remember user preferences and settings.
4. Managing Cookies
- 4.1. Removing cookies from your device: You can delete all cookies that are already on your device by clearing the browsing history of your browser. This will remove all cookies from all websites you have visited.
- 4.2. Managing site-specific cookies: Site-specific cookies can be managed through the privacy and cookie settings in your preferred browser.
- 4.3. Blocking cookies: You can set most modern browsers to prevent any cookies being placed on your device, but you may then have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site/page. Some services and functionalities may not work properly at all (e.g. logging in to your profile).
- 4.4. Rejecting Cookies: If you revoke your consent for cookies, we’ll stop placing cookies that require consent starting from your visit to the next page. We’ll delete any first-party cookies, insofar as this is technically possible.
5. Continuous Improvements
