About cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are used to identify your computer as you use a computer network. This data is usually labelled with an ID unique to you and your computer. When the cookie is exchanged between your computer and the network server, the server reads the ID and knows what information to serve to you specifically. Thus, cookies allow you to see more relevant advertisements, and the navigation and use of the website will be more efficient as the website is enabled to remember your actions and preferences.

There are similar technologies that we store on your web browser or device that help us identify your device. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies.”

There are three categories of cookies available:

 
By Lifespan
  • Session cookies – they last as long as your visit to the website lasts, after which they are erased

  • Persistent cookies – they remain on your device for a pre-defined period of time

 By domain

  • First-party cookies – set by the webserver

  • Third-party cookies – set by a different domain
By place of storage
  • Browser cookies – stored on the user’s browser

  • Flash cookies – stored outside the browser and accessible on multiple browsers on the same compute
