What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember your actions or preferences over time. Cookies help make your online experience smoother by remembering things like login details or language preferences.
Cookies cannot access your device, read your hard disk or read data from other sites. They are safe and do not contain executable code. There are two types of cookies we may use on our site:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They enable basic functionality such as keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to store login details and preferences across sessions, so you do not need to re-enter information each time you visit.
