To make our website work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by the websites that you visit. Cookies are then sent back to the website on each subsequent visit, or to another webpage that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are used in order to make the website work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Such information may be used to provide a more personalized and responsive service and therefore facilitate the use of our Website. 

Cookies may be either first party cookies set directly by us to your device, or third-party cookies set by a third-party provider on our behalf. Whenever you use this Website, information may be collected through the use of cookies and other technologies.

Cookies we may use and why?

“Strictly necessary” cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

“Performance” cookies allow us to track analytics by counting visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They may be set by us or by third party providers to help us to know which pages or videos are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website.

“Functional” cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization based on your interaction with the Website. They may be set by us or by third party providers.

“Targeting” cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. Another example of targeting cookies are “Social media” cookies set by social media services (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook) that can be added to the Website to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. These cookies are capable of tracking your browser across other websites and building up a profile of your interests. This may have an impact on the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

How long will Cookies remain on my device?

The length of time cookies will stay on your device will depend on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie.

A persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiration date, unless deleted by you before the expiration date. The next time you visit our Website, the cookie will recognize you as a returning visitor and the cookie will be present to our Website in order for us to offer the Website in line with your preferences.

A session cookie, on the other hand, will contain information that is used within your current web session but will expire at the end of your web session, when the web browser is closed.
