2. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by the web server of a website when you visit it. They are stored by your web browser and enable the website to recognise your device during your browsing session or on subsequent visits.
Cookies allow the website to send information to the server whenever you perform specific actions, such as navigating between pages, selecting products or services, completing forms, or interacting with website functionality.
In practice, Cookies act as identifiers that enable the website to recognise your browser and remember certain information during your visit or across multiple visits.
When you revisit the website, your browser transmits the relevant Cookie back to the web server, allowing the website to recognise your device and, where applicable, to remember your preferences or previous interactions.
Cookies may also be used to generate statistical information regarding website usage and, where appropriate and subject to your consent, to provide personalised content and marketing communications based on your browsing behaviour.
Depending on their purpose, Cookies may process information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, language preferences, pages visited, session identifiers, and other technical information. Certain Cookies may also process personal information where you voluntarily provide it and where such processing is permitted under applicable law.
With the exception of Strictly Necessary Cookies, which are essential for the secure and proper operation of the website, Cookies are stored on your device only where you have provided your consent, where such consent is required by applicable legislation.
Cookies remain stored on your device either for the duration of your browsing session (Session Cookies) or for a predefined period (Persistent Cookies), unless you delete them earlier through your browser settings.
