Cookies Policy
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Cookies can be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and are used for several purposes, such as remembering your settings on the websites you visit and tracking your navigation across the web. Session cookies, on the other hand, expire when you close your browser.
