1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small amount of data stored in the browser of a user's computer or on their mobile device. Cookies use a variety of techniques to store data on users' devices (for example, their computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones) or to read data from those devices, for example, in order to identify the user or store their preferences. The most commonly known cookies are small text files that are stored on devices so that they can be identified at a later time.
We also use other tracking technologies such as JavaScript, web beacons (tags) (small blocks of code installed on a web page or application, which can retrieve certain information about the device or browser being used) or device tracking based on fingerprinting, mobile identifiers, and URL tracking. We refer to all of these technologies together as "cookies" in this Cookie Policy. At the end of this Cookie Policy you will find a list of the cookies we use and their purpose.
Some of these cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, while others are useful for the visitor as they can securely store, for example, the user's name.
