COOKIE POLICY
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are text files placed and stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. They are used by almost all websites and can do a variety of things: some cookies are needed to make a website work, others improve a visitor’s experience on a website, others provide information to the owners of the website, and others allow a website owner to show you advertisements for products it believes you might like.
This Cookie Policy details what kind of cookies we use, what information is collected by the cookies we use, and how we use that information. For more information on the data we collect and what we do with that data, please read our PRIVACY POLICY.
