Managing Cookies on our Web Site
To improve your browsing experience, we use certain cookies on our Web Site. This policy tells you about our approach to managing these technologies. And it shows you that we use very few of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer or mobile device during your first visit. These files help the website, or other websites, recognize your device on subsequent visits. Web beacons or similar files also serve the same purpose. In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to all files that collect information in this way.
Cookies perform various functions, such as remembering your user name and preferences, evaluating the performance of our website, and suggesting relevant content. While some cookies may contain personal information, such as storing your username if you choose the “remember me” option when you log in, most collect generalized information, such as user behavior and location, rather than particular identifiers.
What kinds of cookies do we use?
Very few at the moment. We use functionality cookies, to allow us to remember your preferences, and performance cookies, to analyze how our visitors use our Web site and to monitor Web site performance. This allows us to provide a high-quality experience by personalizing our offerings and quickly identifying and resolving any issues that arise. We do not currently use advertising cookies.
