1. What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of information that are stored on your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit our Sites. A cookie will usually contain the name of the website from which that cookie came, the "lifetime" of the cookie (i.e. how long the cookie will remain on the user's device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.
2. What Do We Use Cookies For?
We use cookies to make our Site easier to use, and to better tailor the Site and our products to your interests and needs. Cookies help to do this, as they are files that websites can read and execute, allowing them to recognize the user and remember important information that will make using these websites more convenient (for example, remembering the user preference settings).
Cookies may also be used to help speed up users' future activities and experiences on our Sites. We also use cookies to compile anonymous and aggregated statistics that enable us to understand how users use our Sites, which helps us to improve their structure and content.
3. What Types of Cookies Do We Use?
On our Website, we use two types of cookies: so-called “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on the user's device until they leave the Site. Persistent cookies remain on the device for much longer, or until they are manually deleted by the user (the length of time these types of cookies remain on devices will depend on the duration or “life” of the specific cookie).
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
We sometimes use other providers, who are also allowed to install cookies on users' devices on our behalf when they visit our Sites, as this allows them to provide the appropriate services. If the user wants to obtain more information about these cookies, as well as information on how to opt out of receiving such cookies, he should consult the privacy policies of said providers.

Some of the pages that the user visits on the Site may also collect information through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs), which may be shared with third parties who directly support our website promotion and development activities. For example, website usage information about visitors to our Sites may be shared with a third party – our advertising agency – so that it can better target advertisements in banners on our websites.
