A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a web browser to the server while a user is browsing online. These tiny text files help websites remember information about you, making it easier for us to provide personalized services and enhance your overall experience on our site.

We also use temporary or session cookies that store data during a single visit, removing them when you leave our site. This helps us to remember preferences like language settings without storing persistent information on your device.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are essential for maintaining active sessions while browsing through pages within a single website visit. They contain unique identifiers and expire once the session ends (i.e., when you close your browser).

  • Functional persistent cookies enhance user experience by remembering preferences.
  • Analytics persistent cookies provide insights into site usage and optimization.
