What are cookies?:

Cookies are small files with pieces of information, normally consisting of just letters and numbers, which websites use when users visit them. Software on the users’ devices (for example, a web browser) can store cookies and send them back to the website the next time they visit, to make a specific function of the website work and to provide information about the user’s activities on the website.

For what purpose are cookies being used?:

Cookies are used in numerous ways. For example, when analyzing traffic to a website or tracking users’ browsing behavior. Cookies are widely used as they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. Tracking Technologies help websites to remember the visitors and their activities, for example, the user’s language preferences.

What are 'Sessions' and 'Persistent' cookies?:

“Session Cookies” are removed from user’s device once they close their browser session. “Persistent Cookies” last for longer periods on your device – after users close their browser session. Users can delete previously set persistent cookies manually or configure the browser settings to delete cookies, as further described below.

What are 'first-party' and 'third-party' cookies?:

First-party cookies are set directly by the website that the users are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one the users are visiting. For the purpose of this policy, these are cookies that are set by our service providers, such as Hotjar and Google Analytics.

What are 'similar technologies'?:

Functions usually performed by a cookie can be achieved by other means. This could include, for example, using certain characteristics to identify devices so that visits to a website can be analyzed. Any technology that stores or accesses information on the your device is relevant for this purpose, and therefore it includes, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects and fingerprinting techniques. Additionally, technologies like use of log files, scripts, tracking pixels and plugins, wherever these are used – are also considered as similar technologies.

How do we use tracking technologies and for what purpose?:

We use tracking technologies. We use both Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies as part of your experience on the Site so that we can facilitate the use of the Site’s features and tools, keep track of your preferences, improve your experience with our Site, for web analytics and for marketing purposes.
