What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on its visitor’s computer hard drive. Cookies send information to a website that can be used to identify the visitor’s computer settings and preferences. Cookies are widely used to ensure that websites work more efficiently and to obtain information about visitors’ preferences.
You can change your decision about which cookies you allow us to use at any time. It is not possible to opt out of cookies that are necessary for the functioning of the site.
There are two types of cookies. Permanent cookies record information on the visitor’s computer hard drive for a period of time. We use these cookies to inform the visitors of any changes made to the website since their last visit. Session cookies are saved to the visitor’s computer temporarily while they use the website.
Cookies can be added to the website by both the website owner (first-party cookies) and a third party (both first-party and third-party cookies).

Statistical cookies help us understand how a particular visitor uses the website. This gives us information on how many people visit the page in a given period of time, how different pages are navigated and clicked on. Statistical cookies provide us with information that help us improve customer experience.
