Cookies are small text files or pieces of information stored on your computer or mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) when you visit our Sites. A cookie typically contains the name of the website it comes from, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., how long it will remain on your device), and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
We use cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our sites and to better tailor our sites and products to your interests and needs. Cookies allow websites to read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information, making your experience more convenient (for example, by remembering your preferences).
Cookies can also be used to speed up your future activities and visits to our sites. Additionally, we use cookies to compile anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how users engage with our Sites, enabling us to improve their structure and content.
There are two types of cookies we may use on the Sites: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are temporary and remain on your device until you leave the Site. A persistent cookie remains on your device for a longer period or until you delete it manually (the length of time a cookie stays on your device depends on the specific “lifetime” of the cookie).
