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

Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for
our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us
to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our
Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes.
How are cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous ad network tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated audit data, research, and performance reporting for advertisers. Pixels enable us to understand and improve the delivery of ads to you, and know when certain ads have been shown to you. Since your web browser may request advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
Although we do not use cookies to create a profile of your browsing behavior on third-party sites, we do use aggregate data from third parties to show you relevant, interest-based advertising. We do not provide any personal information that we collect to advertisers. You can opt out of off-site and third-party-informed advertising by adjusting your cookie settings. Opting out will not remove advertising from the pages you visit, but, instead, opting out will result in the ads you see not being matched to your interests. This implies that the ad(s) you see will not be matched to your interests by those specific cookies.
Are all cookies the same?
No, there are two types of cookies:
Session cookies - these are temporary cookie files, which are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your browser and go back to the site that created the cookie, the website will not recognize you.
Persistent cookies – these files stay in one of your browser's subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period contained within the persistent cookie's file.
