Cookie Policy

1. What are “cookies”?
Cookies are small pieces of data, text files, stored on computers or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” visitors and their preferences, either for a single visit (via a “session cookie”) or multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). Cookies ensure a pleasant, consistent, and efficient experience for visitors and fulfill essential functions, such as allowing users to log in and stay authenticated. They can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as those that deliver content or provide advertising and analytics services on the website (“third-party cookies”).


2. Why do we use “cookies”?
We use cookies to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. Cookies are also used for statistical analyses regarding website usage to improve the site’s functionality. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; others enable personalized experiences for both visitors and registered users, while others display advertisements from selected third-party networks. Some of these cookies are set when a page loads or when a visitor performs a certain action.


3. What “cookies” do we use?
Below are the various categories of cookies set by the website, with specific examples and details in the tables provided. These include their name and purpose. Certain cookies are set only for authenticated users, while others are set for all visitors and are marked accordingly. If cookies apply only to certain subdomains, they are included under the appropriate header.

4. How can you control or disable “cookies”?

5. Security and Privacy Issues
Browsers generally include privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, storage duration, and automatic deletion after a user visits a site.


Additional cookie security considerations:

  • Customize browser settings regarding cookies to reflect your desired level of cookie security.

  • If you are the sole user of your computer, you can choose longer storage durations for browsing history and access data.
