What are cookies?
For almost any
modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information
on its users. To do this a site will create cookies – small text files that are
stored to the user’s computer. These cookies are designed to allow a website to
recognize its users on subsequent visits, or to authorize other designated
websites to recognize these users for a particular purpose.
Cookies do a lot
of different jobs which make your experience of the internet much smoother and
more interactive. For instance, they can be used to remember your preferences
on sites you visit often, to remember your ID and the contents of your shopping
basket, and so help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They also help
ensure that the advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you and
your interests. Some data collected is designed to detect browsing patterns and
approximate geographical location to improve users experience.
How do we use cookies on our website?
There are
different types of cookies a web site uses.
- In the first category we
include the necessary cookies – these cookies are present to make a website
useful by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure
areas of the website. The website cannot function
properly without these cookies. This set of cookies we can only read. They can
remember if you have already agreed (or refused) the website cookie policy. There are some cookies that we include in order for certain web
pages to function. For this reason they do not need your consent. In particular
authentication cookies and technical cookies required by certain IT systems. Authentication cookies are stored when you login into the site using
our authentication server. When you do this, you accept the associated privacy
policy.
- The second category are co
called statistics cookies which are used to provide us the information how
visitors interact with website. This type of cookies is collected anonymously.
We use these cookies only purely on internal research on how we can improve the
service we provide to our website users. These cookies simply assess on how you
interact with our website as an anonymous user (the gathered data does not
reveal your personability). The data gathered from anonymous cookies is not
shared with any third parties or used for any alternative purpose. The
anonymized data can be shared with contractors working on communication
projects under contractual agreement.
- The third group of cookies are
the marketing cookies and are used to track visitors across the websites. The
intention of these cookies is to display adds that are relevant and engaging
