We will also describe what options you may have regarding Cookies & Similar Technologies.

This Cookie Policy forms part and is incorporated into the terms of use of the Website and may be subject to amendments from time to time. You are advised to check our Cookie Policy regularly to be informed of any updates. Relevant notifications on substantial amendments may also be displayed on our site. By visiting the Website you agree to accept any changes made to this Policy.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files —usually consisting of letters and numbers—stored on your device by a website server.

Cookies are distinguished in “Session Cookies” and “Persistent Cookies” depending on the time they remain stored on your device. “Session cookies” are stored on your device at the time you visit a website and are deleted automatically after you close your browser. “Persistent cookies” are stored on your device at the time you visit a website and remain stored after you close your browser. Persistent cookies will be activated again automatically when you open your browser and browse the internet.

First and third party cookies – Whether a cookie is “first” or “third” party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited by the user – the website displayed in the URL window. Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie.
