Cookie Policy
Information about how we use cookies, what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is used.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie, and are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Session cookies, on the other hand, allow website operators to link a user's actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close it. Session cookies are created temporarily and are deleted once you close your browser.

- Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
