What are cookies, web beacons and similar technologies

Like most websites, we use small data files that are saved on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other mobile device (referred to collectively as "device") to record certain data each time you access or interact with the Website, services and tools.

The specific names and types of cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies used may change over time. To give you a better understanding of the policy and the use of these technologies, some terms with their definitions are provided below.

Cookies: small text files (usually comprising letters and numbers) that are saved in the browser or device memory when you visit a site or view a message. Cookies allow a site to recognise a particular device or browser. There are various types of cookies:

  • Session cookies store information that the user inputs and tracks their movement within the website. This information is stored in a temporary memory location and then deleted after the session is completed or the web browser is closed;

  • Persistent cookies (stored or permanent cookie) are data files capable of providing websites with user preferences, setting and information (for example usernames and passwords) for future visits. These remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire;

  • First-party cookies are set by the website that you are visiting and can be either Session or Persistent;

  • Third-party cookies are set by a website other than the website you are visiting (pop ups or banners, for example). They can be used to track site usage for marketing purposes.

Cookies can be disabled or removed using the tools available in most browsers. Cookie preferences have to be set separately for each browser used, as each of them offers specific features and options.

Similar technologies: technologies that store data in the browser or device using locally shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other software methods for web applications. These technologies work in all browsers. In some cases, the use of local storage cannot be managed in full through browsers and has to be managed using specific tools. We do not use these technologies to store information for creating targeted advertisements on our or other websites.
