What Are Cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored however this may downgrade or 'break' certain elements of the sites functionality.

According to GDPR, strictly necessary cookies could be set in case they are required for website to work properly. Also, not all cookies are considered private data, for example a cookie to store visitor setting on the website, language or cart can be set without user consent.

What are the different types of cookies?

A cookie can be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs. By lifespan, a cookie is either a:

• session cookie which is erased when the user closes the browser or
• persistent cookie which remains on the user's computer/device for a pre-defined period of time.

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.
