This policy is located and made publicly available by posting it to the website URL.

However, as the Cookies Usage Policy changes, the user will be prompted again to provide consent on the Cookies Usage Policy.
2 What are cookies?
For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this a site will create cookies – small text files that are stored to the user’s computer. These cookies are designed to allow a website to recognize its users on subsequent visits, or to authorize other designated websites to recognize these users for a particular purpose.
Cookies do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the internet much smoother and more interactive. For instance, they can be used to remember your preferences on sites you visit often, to remember your ID and the contents of your shopping basket, and so help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They also help ensure that the advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Some data collected is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve users experience.
3 How do we use cookies on our website?
There are different types of cookies a web site uses.
- In the first category we include the necessary cookies – these cookies are present to make a website useful by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. This set of cookies we can only read. They can remember if you have already agreed (or refused) the website cookie policy.
There are some cookies that we include in order for certain web pages to function. For this reason they do not need your consent. In particular authentication cookies and technical cookies required by certain IT systems.
Authentication cookies are stored when you login into the site using our authentication server. When you do this, you accept the associated privacy policy.
- The second category are co called statistics cookies which are used to provide us the information how visitors interact with website. This type of cookies is collected anonymously. We use these cookies only purely on internal research on how we can improve the service we provide to our website users. These cookies simply assess on how you interact with our website as an anonymous user (the gathered data does not reveal your personability). The data gathered from anonymous cookies is not shared with any third parties or used for any alternative purpose. The anonymized data can be shared with contractors working on communication projects under contractual agreement.
- The third group of cookies are the marketing cookies and are used to track visitors across the websites. The intention of these cookies is to display adds that are relevant and engaging the individual user and are thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
- The last group are the unclassified cookies, which are the cookies in the process of classifying, together with the providers of individual cookies.
All of the cookies we use are defined and described from the table below.
