What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored in a computer’s browser directory. They help website providers with things like language preferences, understanding how people use a website, remembering login details and storing site preferences.
There are two main types of cookies that can be set:
- First party cookies: these cookies are placed and read by us directly when you use our services,
- Third party cookies: these cookies are not set by us, but by other companies, like Google or Facebook, for website analytics purposes.
Your browser informs our server if any cookies have been downloaded onto your device. When our server accesses these cookies, we can analyze the information they provide.
Cookies enhance your user experience by allowing us to see your past actions and preferences on the website. This analysis helps us offer more relevant information about the services you currently use or might use in the future.
Additionally, cookies enable behavioral advertising, ensuring you see ads that are more relevant to you.
