What are cookies and similar tracking technology

“Cookies” are small text containing small amounts of information which are dropped and may be stored on any of your web browsers or internet enabled devices (e.g. your computer, smartphone or tablet) that can later be read by the server - like a memory for a web page. Similar technologies may also be used on this Website, such as web beacons or pixel tags that typically function through the use of small files, such as a GIF or PNG, which are opened on a page or ad. The request for these files from a server reveals certain information, such as your browser type, IP address, and other information.

This means we may collect and store the following information identifying you or allowing your identification (“Personal Data”) about your visit:

• the internet domain and IP address from where you access the Website;
• the type of browser software and configuration and operating system used to access the Website;
• the date and time you access the Website;
• if you linked to the Website from another website, the address of that website; and
• the pages you enter, visit and exit the Website from, content viewed and duration of visits.

We use Cookies that last for different durations:

• Session Cookies: these are Cookies which last for as long as you keep your web browser open and expire when you close your web browser.
• Persistent Cookies: these are Cookies which stay on your device for a set period of time. They expire at a fixed point in time or if you manually delete them from your browser, whichever occurs first.
