This cookie policy explains in detail what cookies we use and how we use them.
What are cookies?
We’ll let Wikipedia explain this:
An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user’s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names, addresses, and passwords.
Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions in the modern web. Perhaps most importantly, authentication cookies are the most common method used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. Without such a mechanism, the site would not know whether to send a page containing sensitive information, or require the user to authenticate themselves by logging in. The security of an authentication cookie generally depends on the security of the issuing website and the user’s web browser, and on whether the cookie data is encrypted.
The tracking cookies, and especially third-party tracking cookies, are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individual’s browsing histories – a potential privacy concern that prompted European to take action. European law requires that all websites targeting European Union member states gain “informed consent” from users before storing non-essential cookies on their device.
