WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small pieces of text, given ID tags that are stored on your computer. They make the interaction between users and websites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a web site to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping cart or to remember the user’s preferences or registration details for a future visit. Some cookies are essential to the functionality of the website.

A cookie cannot give us access to your computer or to information beyond what you provide us, and they are not viruses, spyware or Trojans that can damage your computer.

HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

The purpose of this data collection is to monitor and improve the usability of our website.
