Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies. Your first visit to our site will prompt you to consent to our use of cookies, following the terms outlined in this policy. By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you are granting consent for the utilization of cookies as described within this document.

Cookies in a Nutshell

A cookie is essentially a file holding an identifier, typically a string of letters and numbers. This file is transmitted from a web server to a web browser and saved by the browser. The browser then sends back this identifier to the server whenever it requests a page from that server.

Cookies serve various purposes, including identifying and tracking users' activities across different pages on a website and recognizing users when they revisit a site.

Cookies can be categorized as "persistent" or "session" cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent from a web server to a web browser, which the browser stores and keeps valid until a pre-set expiry date (unless users delete it before that date). In contrast, a session cookie expires at the end of a user's session, which is when the web browser is closed.
