Cookie Notice
What are cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer when a website is visited. The stored text contains information that the website can read when it is accessed again later. Some cookies are necessary for the correct functioning of the site; others are useful to visitors because they can securely remember, for example, a username or language settings. The advantage of having cookies on your device is that you do not need to re-enter the same information each time you visit a previously accessed site.
Why does this site use cookies?
Some cookies are extremely useful because they can make browsing more pleasant for the user when visiting a site that has been consulted before. If you use the same device and browser, cookies can, for example, remember the user’s preferences, help us understand how our sites are used and make the displayed content more relevant to the user’s interests and needs.
None of the cookies used by this website collect information that personally identifies the user.
Controlling and deleting cookies
If you wish to change how your browser uses cookies, or block or delete cookies from this website (or any other site), you can do so by changing your browser settings.
To manage cookies, most browsers allow users to accept or refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or ask each time whether to save a cookie from a particular site. It is also easy to delete cookies that have already been saved by the browser on your device.
The process for controlling and deleting cookies varies depending on the browser used. To find out how to do this for a specific browser, use the Help function in your browser menu.

Types of cookies
Cookies are categorized as follows.
- Session Cookies — These are stored on the user’s device for purely technical and functional reasons, to transmit session identifiers necessary to enable secure and efficient browsing of the site; they are deleted at the end of the “session” (hence the name) when the browser is closed. This type of cookie avoids the use of other potentially privacy-intrusive techniques.
- Persistent Cookies — These remain stored on the device’s hard drive until they expire or are deleted by the user. Persistent cookies allow visitors who access the site (or other users of the same device) to be automatically recognized on subsequent visits. Persistent cookies provide many useful functions for users (for example, remembering language preferences or shopping cart contents). However, persistent cookies can also be used for promotional purposes or for purposes of questionable legitimacy. Visitors can configure their browser to accept or refuse all cookies or to display a notice each time a cookie is offered, so they can decide whether to accept it. Users may change the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e., block them permanently) by setting a higher level of protection.
- Third-Party Cookies — Cookies set by third parties on behalf of other entities; these may be session or persistent cookies.
