Our Cookie Policy

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 more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you revisit the site or browse from one page to another.

Essentially, cookies serve various purposes, from remembering what's in your shopping cart to tracking your browsing habits across different websites. They play a crucial role in enhancing your online experience, making it more personalized and convenient. Without cookies, the web would be a much less interactive and user-friendly place.

  • Performance Cookies: We use performance cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, and if they get error messages from web pages.

  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, they can remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
