A "cookie" is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are very helpful and can be used for various different purposes. These purposes include allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences and making the interaction between you and our Services quicker and easier. Cookies are also used to help make sure that the advertisements you see are relevant to you and your interests and to compile statistical data on your use of our Services.

 

The Site uses the following types of cookies:

 

1. 'session cookies', which are stored only temporarily during a browsing session in order to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed;

 

1. 'persistent cookies', which are read only by the Site, saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to know who you are for repeat visits, for example to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in;

 

1. 'third-party cookies', which are set by other online services who run content on the page you are viewing, for example by third-party analytics companies who monitor and analyse our web access.

 

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but Personal Information that we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
