COOKIES POLICY

Definition.

Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser, and that enables websites or service providers systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

General Use.

We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

The majority of the website’s functions shall operate without the use of cookies. However, if you deactivate cookies, you shall not have access to certain services and features of the website.

Types of Cookies.

There are different types of cookies, as outlined below:

Session cookies (also called temporary cookies)

These cookies are used to store temporary information. The information is acquired through a single session or the time between the opening and closing of your browser. Once you close your browser, they are automatically deleted. Their purpose is to remember the actions you have performed on the website, for example, the items you have placed in your online shopping cart.

Permanent cookies (also called persistent cookies)

In contrast to session cookies, permanent cookies are not deleted once you close your browser but they stored on your hard drive until the expiration date or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember, for example, login details (username and password), to avoid entering them every time you visit a particular site.

First-party cookies

The term “first party” means getting cookies directly from the website’s domain you are on. For example, once you land on the our website, it can automatically create a cookie which is saved on your computer.

Third-party cookies

These cookies are related to external domains as they are not issued by the website’s domain you are on. For example, third party cookies from social media sites (such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) let us track social network users when they visit or use the website and services, or share content, by using a tagging mechanism provided by those social networks.

These cookies are also used for event tracking and remarketing purposes. Any data collected with these tags will be used in accordance with our and social networks’ privacy policies.  We will not collect or share any personally identifiable information from the user.

Cookie Options.

At any time you have the option to accept or decline the use of cookies using the on/off settings of the preference center.  To learn more about how to do this or to learn more about cookies, visit: internetcookies.org
