What are cookies and how do cookies work?
When you visit the Site, it uses cookies to maintain your connection to the Site and allows us to improve our Site. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is placed on your terminal equipment, such as computers, tablets or smartphones, when you as a user browse websites. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your equipment’s hard drive, but the purpose of cookies is not to harm your device, nor do they read other information from your equipment’s hard drive. Cookies are a key component of safe, efficient, and user-friendly functioning of services based on electronic communication, and the law requires consent to the use of cookies in cases that may have an impact on the user's privacy.
The cookies used on this Site fall into two categories of cookies as follows:
- Strictly necessary cookies (required/always active) are essential for the functioning of the Site, e.g., cookies that enables website content to be delivered securely. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled and are cookies that are exempt from cookie consent (according to the law, consent is not required for essential cookies when the following conditions are met: (i) the sole purpose of storing or using cookies is to transmit messages in communications networks, or (ii) the storage and use of cookies is necessary for the service provider to provide a service that the subscriber or user has specifically requested).
- Optional cookies (non-essential cookies) will only be stored in your browser with your prior consent (you can adjust your preferences in Cookie Settings).
Our Site uses optional cookies as classified below:
- Performance cookies. These analytics cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Site when they are using it. This helps to improve the way the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
- Functionality cookies. These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to the Site. This enables us to personalize your content for you and remember your preferences.

These cookies collect data on your interests based on online behaviour and record your visit to the Site, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Site more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose, so that when you are on another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on our Site.
