The information collected helps us understand how users interact with our website so that we can provide better user experience.

 

Types of Cookies

 

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or other mobile devices (such as smartphones or tablets) when you access certain pages on the internet. They are used to “remember” when your device accesses our website. Cookies are stored in your browser. Cookies enable us or another website to recognize your device the next time you visit. Most cookies do not collect information that identifies you as an individual (personal data) but instead collect more general information such as how users access and use our website.

 

•       Session cookies: Session cookies are stored temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed.

•       Persistent cookies: These cookies are stored on your device for a predetermined period (usually several months) and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used when we need to recognize your device across more than one browsing session.
