What are cookies?

Cookies and similar technologies are very small text documents or pieces of code, which often include an anonymous unique identifier used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. When you visit a website or use a mobile application, a computer asks you for permission to store this file on your computer or mobile device and access information from it. Information gathered through cookies and similar technologies may include the date and time of visits and how you are using the particular website or mobile application.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this Site. For all other types of cookies we need your permission.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first and third party cookies on our Site and in our emails.
