Cookie Policy

The website uses cookies. By using the website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies following the terms of this policy.

About cookies

Cookies are files, often including unique identifiers, sent by web servers to web browsers, which may then be sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Web servers can use cookies to identify and track users as they navigate different website pages and identify users returning to a website.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until its set expiration date (unless deleted by the user before the expiration date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.

We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on the site.
