What’s a cookie?

A cookie is a small file sent from a website or web-based interface, which is then stored by your web browser. When you return to the website or web-based interface, the information in the cookie can be used to recognize your last session. Cookies cannot install malicious software such as viruses on your device, and they do not store any of your personal data or account information.

Why do we use cookies? 

We use cookies to save and maintain users’ settings and selected preferences during browsing sessions, for saving repeating users’ preferences for future use (e.g. geographical location, currency preferences accessibility and language selections and preferences), and for statistical analysis of the performance and trends on our website or interfaces and for monitoring and identifying errors. 

Where do cookies come from?

Cookies originate from two types of sources: first party and third party. The classification whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the internet domain that is placing the cookie. 

• First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time. 
• Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the site being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that site this would be a third-party cookie.

The cookies embedded and deployed on the site can be classified for the following four purposes:

• Essential cookies are fundamental for a website to function properly. They enable core functionalities such as security, session management, and accessibility. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

• Analytics cookies collect anonymous data on how users interact with a website. They track metrics such as page visits, time spent on pages, bounce rates, and loading speeds to help website owners improve functionality and user experience

• Marketing cookies Marketing cookies are web cookies designed to track user behavior for advertising purposes. They collect data on interactions, preferences, and habits to enable targeted digital marketing, such as personalized ads and retargeting
• Functional cookies enhance user experience by remembering preferences such as language settings or customized layouts. While essential cookies are strictly necessary, functional cookies improve usability but are not always required for basic website operation.
