Our Use of Cookies
Every browser that visits our website receives cookies from us. Unless the cookies we use are strictly necessary for providing the website, we will ask you to consent to the use of cookies on your first visit to our website.
We use cookies on our website because we want to provide our users with the best possible experience. Information provided through cookies enables us to optimize your experience on our site.
Cookies do not normally contain information that can personally identify a user. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. In our Privacy Policy, you can learn more about what personal data is processed in relation to our users.
About Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them each time you return to the website or browse from one page to another.
The use of cookies helps you navigate between pages efficiently, remembers your settings, and improves your browsing experience in various ways. Cookies can also help ensure that the marketing you see online is more relevant to you and your interests.
Other technologies, including data we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device, and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as cookies.

- Persistent cookies remain on the user’s computer or device for a predefined period of time unless deleted by the user before the expiration date. Persistent cookies help us recognize you, making it easier to return to our website or interact with our service without having to log in again or change settings each time.

Cookies by Domain
- First-party cookies are set by the web server of the visited site and belong to the same domain.
- Third-party cookies are stored in a different domain than the visited site. This can happen when the website references a file, such as JavaScript, that is located outside its domain.
Cookies by Storage Location
- Browser cookies are sent by a website and stored in the user’s browser. Browser cookies store less data than Flash cookies, and only the browser in which the cookies are stored can access them.
- Flash cookies are locally shared objects that differ from browser cookies in the amount, type, and manner in which data is stored. They are stored outside the browser and can be accessed by multiple browsers on the same computer.
