What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
- Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how users engage with our website. This information is used to improve our website's performance and user experience.

Do we use other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Updates to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookies Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookies Policy indicates when it was last updated.
