1.  Introduction

To make the website work properly, and to provide the most relevant products and services to our site visitors and members, we place small data files called cookies on your device. This policy provides you with information about cookies and how to control them for this website.

1.1   What is a cookie?

Cookies are small data files that your browser places on your computer or device which identify it to our server.  Cookies help your browser navigate a website and the cookies themselves cannot collect any data stored on your computer or your files or identify individual users. When a server uses a web browser to read cookies they can help a website deliver a more user-friendly service.

By using our website, you may agree that we place cookies on your browser. To protect your privacy, your browser only gives a website access to the cookies it has already sent to you.

1.2    Why do we use cookies?

Our website uses session cookies as an efficient way to verify that the user has well logged in and has a valid session when navigating across the different pages of our website. Session cookies enable us to keep track of your movement from one page to another and you are not required to give the same information to the site. Session cookies allow you to proceed through many pages of a site quickly and easily without having to authenticate or reprocess each new area you visit. The session cookie, also known as transient cookie, collects and stores information in a temporary memory location and subsequently deletes the information when the session is completed or when you close your web browser.

Our website also uses persistent cookies. Persistent cookies are placed on your device to help remember settings that you have previously saved. This helps to create a convenient and faster website experience. Settings stored on the cookie is deleted after 60 days. On the date specified in the expiration, the cookie will be removed from your device.

The website also uses statistics cookies. Statistics cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions.

1.3   How do I reject and delete cookies?

We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable data about you. However, should you wish to do so, you can choose to reject or block the cookies by changing your browser settings. You may see the Help function within your browser for further details. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies so if you do not wish cookies to be used you may need to actively delete or block the cookies.

For details on the use of cookies in mobile phone browsers and for details on how to reject or delete such cookies, please refer to your handset manual. Note, however, that if you erase or reject the use of cookies you will still be able to visit our website, but this may impact the website overall performance as some of the functions may not work correctly.
