What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user's web browser while the user is browsing that website. Often, cookies are created not just by the website the user is browsing, but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded.

What are cookies used for?

We use cookies to provide better website performance, give you a better online experience and make our user interface as user-friendly as possible. Cookies allow us to remember your preferences and provide you a consistent experience between sections of our website.

First party cookies (session and persistent cookies)

First party cookies are cookies set by a website visited by the user. Session cookies are essential to make our website work correctly - they remember your preferences and customize content based on your previous actions. Session cookies are temporary and expire at the end of each browser session. Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your equipment between browsing sessions until expiry or deletion. They enable the website to recognize you on your return, remembering your preferences from the previous browsing session.

Third Party Cookies

Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie. To enrich our website content, sometimes we may embed video content from other websites such as YouTube, as well as various content from social media websites like Google+, Facebook, Twitter, etc. As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded, you may be presented with cookies from these websites.
