What are cookies?
A cookie is an information tag that a website automatically stores on your computer or mobile device when you access it. These files allow, for a certain period of time, the website to "remember” your actions and preferences, but never your personal data.

What type of cookies do you use?
We use session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies record your actions during the course of your session and are cleared when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, record information about recurring users for a predefined period of time.
