Cookies Policy
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a device when users visit certain websites. Cookies are accessed by the server and allow a website to recognise users and understand how they navigate through different websites.
In line with the same principle and for the same purpose, other tracking technologies could also be used, such as html5 local storage. For the remainder of this policy, the term “cookie” shall cover any local tracking technology.
In practice, the website you visit sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time the user returns to the same website, the browser recovers and sends this file to the website server.
What types of cookies do we use?
Below are the different types of cookies, with different purposes and uses:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling out forms. You can set up your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but then certain parts of this website will not work. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information.
- Targeting cookies: These cookies can be installed via our website from our advertised associates. They are used by these companies to build a profile of your interests and show you personalised ads on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will see less targeted ads.
- Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count page visits and traffic sources, to help us measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors navigate through the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregate and, therefore, anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
- Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to improve its functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or third parties, the services of whom we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of our services may not function correctly.
- Social media cookies: These cookies are set by a number of social media services that we have added to our website, to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are able to track your browser across other websites and build up a profile of your interests. This may affect the content and messages you see on other websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

Annex A
Cookies are small data files (text files) that websites place on your device as you are browsing.
