Types of cookies

Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Persistent cookies: These are permanent cookies that are stored on your browser until you delete them or until they reach their expiry date. These cookies are used to remember your preferences and to display content and information that is relevant to you.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons? Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
