1. About cookies

1.1 A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser of your device. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This helps us improve the website and your experience, see which areas and features of the website are popular and count visits.

1.2 Cookies may be either ‘persistent’ cookies or ‘session’ cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

1.3 If you do not wish to have cookies on your system, you can set your browser preferences to disable them or reject browser cookies or via the tool provided by our third party provider, Cookiehub. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the website.

1.4 Many advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us participate in voluntary programs that provide tools to opt-out of such interest-based advertising such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (‘DAA’) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising for DAA members, visit youradchoices.com and aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program for mobile apps. Some of these companies also are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (‘NAI’). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see networkadvertising.org/choices. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of interest-based advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads.
