What are cookies?
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. We use a number of different cookies on our website, including strictly necessary, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies.
Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another.
Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor. Read more a how we use the data collected through these technologies, in our Privacy Policy.
The performance cookies we use include:
"First party" analytics cookies - We use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve our websites design and functionality, and to detect the most searched for words in search engines that lead to a webpage. These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. These improve your browsing experience.
Third party analytics cookies - We also use Google Analytics to help measure how users interact with our website content. These cookies “remember” what our users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the website.
Social and Content cookies
These are placed by social media plugins (for example the Facebook ’like’ button), and are meant to provide or improve the content on a website e.g. create comments sections. We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our website. Please note that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used for things like analytics, and/or market research.
