What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent to or accessed from your device’s memory or web browser. A cookie typically contains the domain (internet location) that originated the cookie; the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires); and, a randomly generated unique number or similar identifier. A cookie may also contain information about your device: settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our services.

First-party cookies are placed on your device directly by us. We use first-party cookies to adapt our website to your browser’s language preferences and better understand your use of our website.

We use third-party cookies to measure user numbers on our website or to enable you to share content with others across social media platforms.

  • What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Other technologies such as web beacons (also calls pixel tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs or software development kits (SDKs) are used for similar purposes. Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our service or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. Tracking URLs are custom generated links that help us understand where the traffic to our webpages comes from. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons. We also refer to these technologies as “cookies” in this Cookie Policy.
