What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help us recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.
For instance, cookies can be used to remember your login details, so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit, or to recall your language preferences. The data collected via cookies is primarily used to tailor our services to your personal needs, improve the usability of our website, and for analytical and security purposes. These files do not typically contain personally identifiable information but may be linked to personal information we store about you.
