PURPOSE
  • We use cookies and other technologies to ensure that any person who uses our website gets the best possible experience. In this notice we have provided detailed information about how and when we use cookies.
APPLICABILITY
  • This notice applies to all individuals visiting our website and to all the information that is collected through cookies.
  • Cookies are alphanumeric files containing small amounts of information, which are placed on to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. It allows us to recognize that your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Without them, using the web can be a cumbersome experience. Loss of the information stored in a preference cookie may make the website experience less functional but should not prevent it from working. Cookies cannot access any other information on your computer.
TYPES OF COOKIES USED – Majorly we use two types of cookies:
  • Persistent/Permanent cookies – Persistent cookies helps us recognise you as an existing user, so it’s easier for you to return to our website without signing in again. After signing in, the persistent cookies stay on your browser and will be read when you return on to our sites. These remain on your computer/device for a pre-defined period of time.
  • Session cookies – Session cookies only last for as long as the session exists (they get erased when the user closes the browser).

As for the domain to which it belongs, there are either:

  • First-party cookies –
    which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain.
  • Third-party cookies – stored by a different domain to the visited page’s domain. This can happen when the webpage references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain.

The table below explains the cookies we use and why.
