Cookies policy

A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit certain websites and allows a website to recognise a user’s computer. Typically, they contain two pieces of information: a site name and unique user ID.

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets us know when you visit a particular part of our website. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
We also use ID cookies to automatic re-identify yourself within some parts of our website which requires user identification.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
