What are cookies?
Cookies are small units of data, usually small text files, which are stored on your computer or terminal device. Cookies store certain information and settings and may contain a unique identifier, which is an anonymous number or string of letters that allows us to identify the computer or terminal device, but not the individual visitor of our websites. Cookies are downloaded by your Internet browser when you visit our websites. Some cookies expire at the end of your visit to our websites (Session Cookies), others remain on your computer or terminal device for a longer period (Persistent Cookies).
Sometimes a web beacon, also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to link websites to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. Through these automated collection methods, we obtain “clickstream data,” which is a log of content on which a visitor clicks while browsing our website. As the visitor clicks through the website, a record of the action may be collected and stored.
