Cookies

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

A number of our pages use cookies to remember:

Session cookies – Session cookies enable our website to keep track of your movement from page to page so you don’t get asked for the same information you’ve already given to our site.

Persistent (Tracking) Cookies – Persistent cookies help our website remember your information and settings when you visit it in the future. This result in faster and more convenient access since, for example, you don’t have to login or repeat some actions again (e.g. your display preferences, such as contrast colour settings or font size, if you have already replied to a survey pop-up that asks you if the content was helpful or not (so you won’t be asked again), if you have agreed (or not) to our use of cookies on this site).

Also, some videos embedded in our pages use a cookie to anonymously gather statistics on how you got there and what videos you visited.

Cookies are stored by our Google Analytics account.
