What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage. When used, the cookie can help make our Services more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work in an efficient way. The use of cookies allows you to navigate between pages efficiently. Cookies remember your preferences and make the interaction between you and the Services smoother and more efficient. Cookies are also used to help ensure that the advertisements you see online are relevant to you and your interests.

How we store cookies and tracking technologies

We store cookies and tracking technologies when you visit or access our Services (for example when you are visiting our websites), these are called "First Party" cookies. In addition, these are stored by other third-parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) who run content on our Services, these are called "Third-Party" cookies.

Both types may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.

How we use cookies?

There are five main types:

Strictly Necessary: These are essential to enable you to login, navigate around and use the features of our Services, or to provide a service requested by you (such as your username). We do not need to obtain your consent to use these Tracking Technologies. These Tracking Technologies can be used for security and integrity reasons - for example to detect violation of our policies and for support or security features.

Functionality: These allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalised features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged in) and support other features of our Services.

Performance: These collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on our Services), including behavioral data and content engagement metrics. These are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).

Marketing or Advertising: These are used to deliver tailored offers and advertisements to you, based on your derived interests, as well as to perform email marketing campaigns. They can also be 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 our advertisers (for example advertising networks) and provide them insights about the people who see and interact with their ads, visit their websites or use their app.

Social media: Our website includes social media features, such as the Facebook "Like" or "Share" buttons. These features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing these features.

When you visit or access our Services, we use various Tracking Technologies, including (without limitation) the following:
