This policy is intended to inform you about what cookies are, how we use them on our website, what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage or disable them.

What Is a Cookie?

A “cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie”) is a small text file, made up of letters and numbers, that is stored on a user’s computer, phone or other device when they visit a website. The cookie is installed via a request sent by a web server to your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Cookies are entirely “passive” — they do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware, and cannot access information on your hard drive.

A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content (value) of the cookie. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can subsequently access it.


Types of Cookies by Duration

Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are not stored on your device after the browsing session ends.

Persistent cookies — remain stored on your device until a pre-set expiry date or until you manually delete them. They are reused on each subsequent visit to the website.


Cookie Lifespan

The lifespan of a cookie varies depending on its purpose — from a few minutes (session cookies) to several years (persistent cookies). Regardless of the set duration, cookies can be deleted at any time by the user through browser settings.


Benefits of Cookies

Cookies play an important role in the efficient functioning of websites, enabling:

– remembering the user’s browsing preferences
