Our website uses cookies.

By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent

About cookies
Cookies are a kind of short-term memory for the web. They are stored in your browser
and enable a site to ‘remember’ little bits of information between pages or visits.
Cookies can be used by web servers to identify and track users as they navigate
different pages on a website, and to identify users returning to a website. Cookies may
be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie consists of a text
file sent by a web server to a web browser, which will be stored by the browser and will
remain valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).
A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the
web browser is closed.

Cookies on our website
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies on our website.
