What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies contain information about your interactions with the site and can be used to personalize your experience, remember your login details, or track your behavior.

Why do we use Cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons:

• To provide you with a seamless user experience across our platforms
• To enable us to analyze website usage statistics and improve performance
• To allow us to deliver targeted content based on your preferences

Essential Cookies

These are the cookies that make it possible for you to access certain features of our site. They include:

• Login persistence cookies: these keep you logged in between sessions, so you don't need to log back in each time.
• Security-related cookies: these help us prevent unauthorized access to your account or website.

Session Cookies

These are temporary cookies that last only for the duration of your browsing session. We use them for:

• Tracking navigation and usage patterns
• Creating a temporary record of your interactions with our site

When you close your browser, these cookies disappear.

Persistent Cookies

Unlike session cookies, these remain on your device even after you close your browser or shut down your computer. They allow us to remember your preferences across sessions, such as:

• Language and location settings
• Newsletter subscriptions
• Chat functionality

We will retain persistent cookies for a certain period of time (see below).

Functional Cookies

These are used by third-party services that we integrate with our site. For example:

• Social media buttons: these create temporary cookies to enable social sharing.
• Analytics tracking codes: these set cookies to track website behavior.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics tools to monitor usage patterns, optimize performance, and improve the overall user experience. We also deploy various other types of cookies that help us analyze:

• Page loading times
• Bounce rates
• Click-through rates

These are generally used by third-party service providers and remain in effect for up to 2 years.

Preference and Language Settings

We allow you to customize your preferences, such as language or currency. This information is stored in our system using cookies that expire after a certain period (usually not more than a year).

Login/Session Continuity

Some of our applications require login persistence so you can continue where you left off without having to log back in each time.

Device Recognition

We use device recognition technology, including cookies and browser fingerprinting, to identify your device for marketing purposes. This helps us personalize your experience by serving relevant content or tracking interactions across multiple sessions on the same device.

Security-Related Cookies

Where applicable, we deploy security-related cookies that help protect against hacking attempts or unauthorized access. These are essential and required for maintaining site integrity.

Browser Storage Technologies

Modern browsers provide various ways of storing data locally on your machine, including local storage (LS) and session storage (SS). We may leverage these features to improve performance or simplify interactions with our sites, depending on their capabilities in each case.

Third-Party Integrations

When we use third-party libraries like Google Maps for example. This library has its own set of cookies used specifically within the Map functionality.
