What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of data that our website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device.

For example, a cookie can include the date and time of visits to the website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the website and the sites visited just before and just after it.
Some of the pages you visit on our website may also collect information through the use of web beacons, also called pixels, image tags or script tags. They are small files or pieces of code that are used in conjunction with cookies to record what links are clicked on.

Such pixel tags may be used to recognise third party cookies and inform us and/or third parties which advertisement or link brought you to our website, allowing us to measure effectiveness of promotional activities and ultimately to improve our website, and the products and services we offer.
