Understanding Cookie Use
System Optimization Through Cookies: Cookies are crucial for our system's operation; they remember information about your device and usage, enhancing your experience. Information such as your computer's IP address, browser type, and demographic details are stored. This helps if you are a registered user or navigating from a third-party site. Cookies are fundamental for verifying user identity and improving overall system interactions.#1 How Cookies Facilitate Website Functionality
Required cookiesRequired cookies enable you to move from page to page and to use features on our websites while your browser remains open. For example, required cookies allow you to add products to your shopping cart and carry the contents of your cart to checkout.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies last from visit to visit. For example, functional cookies may be used to recognize you as a previous visitor to provide a more personalized experience. They are stored in your computer, device, or browser until you choose to delete them.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics and performance cookies allow us to collect data concerning the websites, including the number of visitors, where the visitors have come from, and the length of time visitors spend on the websites, which allows us or third-party service providers to analyze how our websites are used and how our websites are performing. We use third party analytics service for analytics and performance tracking, and you can learn more about their privacy policies on their website.
For the provision of its services, our service uses certain cookies and transfers the information generated by such cookies to a analytics server where the information is stored. We use the stored information to analyze your use of our websites, to prepare reports on website activities for website operators, and to provide additional services in connection with the use of our websites. We process such information with your consent. You can object to the collection of your personal information at any time with future effect by applying the Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers. We would like to point out that this website uses Analytics with the “anonymizeIp()” expansion. This means that IP addresses are generally truncated prior to being transferred making direct personal identification improbable.
