Cookies are incredibly useful, since they allow modern websites to work the way people have come to expect – with increasing levels of personalization and rich interactive functionality. Almost all websites use cookies in one way or another, and every page you visit in those websites writes cookies to your computer and receives them back from it.
Cookies work to make your experience browsing our website as smooth as possible as they remember your preferences so you don’t have to insert your details again and again. For instance, cookies allow you to login on one page, then move around to the other pages and stay logged in or to set preferences for the display of a page, and for these to be remembered the next time you return to it.
There are different types of cookies. Some cookies come directly from our website while others come from third parties which place cookies on our website.
Cookies can be stored for varying lengths of time on your browser or device. Session cookies are deleted from your computer or device when you close your web-browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer or device until deleted or until they reach their expiry date.
