What are Cookies?

We gather data regarding your utilization of our website using cookies. Cookies refer to files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone, serving to assist websites in recollecting your identity and details about your browsing session. They aid in tailoring the presentation of information on our website to align with your personal interests. It is commonplace for the majority of prominent websites to employ cookies.

      a) What cookies do we use on our site?

      The cookies utilised on our website, both by our business partners and ourselves, fall into several distinct categories:

  1. Essential Cookies: These cookies are crucial for providing you with the requested service on our website. For instance, they enable you to log into your account or facilitate communication between your browser and our site. Our cookie preference cookie, as mentioned in the “How can I reject or opt out of receiving cookies?” section, also falls under this category. Without these cookies, accessing and using our site may be restricted.
  2. Analytics Cookies: We employ analytics cookies to gain insights into how users interact with our website. They assist us in tracking the number of unique visitors or the usage of specific features, rather than simply counting the total number of site visits or feature usage. Without these cookies, if you were to visit our site once each week for three weeks, we would consider you as three separate users. Analyzing and improving the performance of our website would be challenging without these cookies.
  3. User Cookies: These cookies enhance your browsing experience by remembering your preferences, allowing us to cater to your specific user preferences on our site. For example, they may remember your preferred content or recognize you upon returning to our site.
  4. Social Sharing Cookies: We incorporate third-party cookies that enable you to directly share our content on social networking or sharing platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest. These cookies facilitate actions like “liking” or “tweeting” about our products or services. Further details can be found in the “Third Party Cookies” section below.
  5. Interest-Based Advertising Cookies: You may have noticed that when visiting websites, you are presented with advertisements for products and services that align with your interests. These third-party cookies gather information about your preferences, such as the websites you visit and your geographic location, to ensure the ads displayed to you are relevant. It’s important to note that having these cookies does not increase the overall number of ads shown, but rather enhances the relevance of the ads you encounter. Additional information is available in the “Third Party Cookies” section below.

 

      b) How do I reject or opt out of receiving cookies?

Unless you have specifically adjusted your browser setting to reject cookies, our system will continue to issue cookies when you use our site. Most browsers provide guidance on managing cookies through their “Help” menu.
