We use cookies or similar tools on our sites to improve their performance and your experience. This policy explains how we do this.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website can save on your computer or mobile device when you visit a page or site. A cookie will help the site or other sites recognize your device the next time you visit it. Web beacons or other similar files can do the same. We use the term cookies in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies perform many different functions. For example, they help us remember your username or preferences, analyze how well our sites are performing, or even allow us to recommend content to you that we think will be of interest to you.

Most cookies do not collect information that can identify you, but rather collect general information about how users reach and use our sites or what their location is.

What types of cookies do the sites use?

Basically, cookies perform 4 different functions:

Important cookies

Cookies related to site performance

We use analytical cookies to analyze how our visitors use the websites and monitor their performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by personalizing our offering and quickly identifying and resolving any issues that arise. For example, we may use performance cookies to track which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages receive error messages. We may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services on the Site that we believe will be of interest to you, based on your use of the Websites. The information collected by these cookies is not linked to your personal data by us or our contractors.

These cookies are not used to track your browsing on other sites.

Does anyone else use cookies on our sites?

We use or allow third parties to use on our sites cookies that fall into the four categories mentioned above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to monitor traffic on our sites.
